Club career

Jevtić started his youth football with Basel, played for nearly a year in the Concordia Basel youth team, but returned to Basel in August 2006. He played in their U-16 team and was part of the team that won the Swiss Championship in 2008[1] and 2009.[2] Later he played in the U-18 team, the U-19 team in the 2011–12 NextGen series and the U-21 team before he signed his first professional contract and joined their first team in January 2012.

Jevtić made his first team debut in the Swiss Super League on 28 July 2012, being substituted in, during the 2–2 away draw against Grasshopper Club Zürich. At the end of the Swiss Super League season 2012–13 he won the Championship title[3] and was Swiss Cup runner up with Basel.[4] In the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League Basel advanced as far as the semi-finals, there being matched against the reigning UEFA Champions League holders Chelsea, but they were knocked out, losing both home and away ties, beaten 2–5 on aggregate.[5]

On 2 September 2013, Basel announced that Jevtić had joined the Austrian club Wacker Innsbruck on a one-year loan.[6]

On 11 June 2014, he was loaned to Polish Ekstraklasa club, Lech Poznań.[7]

Rubin Kazan

On 22 January 2020 he signed a 4.5-year contract with Russian club Rubin Kazan.[8]

AEK Athens

On 31 August 2021 he signed a one-year contract with Greek club AEK Athens on loan from Russian club Rubin Kazan.[9]

The Swiss midfielder, who has been a key player in Lech Poznań for many years, with his excellent numbers in his Polish career (33 goals and 32 assists in 155 matches), then had a satisfactory presence in FC Rubin Kazan (41 matches, 4 goals, 4 assists) and a worrying about his career path in AEK Athens, as he lives in the shadow of captain Petros Mantalos. When it was acquired on loan last summer, everyone believed that this addition would be a serious reason for intense competition with the team captain. Something that happened in two games during the days of Vladan Milojević on the bench of the club, while Argirios Giannikis trusted him even less. But during January 2022, probably the deformity of Μantalos open the door of the starting XI since he was acquired. [10]

International career

On 6 June 2013, Jevtić made his debut for the Swiss U-21 team as left winger in the 2–3 away defeat against Sweden. During his third appearance for the team on 5 September 2013, in the Group 5 qualification game to the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championships, he scored his first goal for them in the 2–0 away win against Latvia U-21 team in Slokas Stadium, Jūrmala.[11]
