Born in Novi Sad, Batak started out at Metalac Futog in 1989, before joining the youth system of Vojvodina in 1993. He was loaned to ČSK Čelarevo, Mladost Apatin and Vrbas.[1] After moving abroad in 2003, Batak went on to play for Dynamo Moscow, Ankaraspor, Antalyaspor and Tobol.

International career

Batak made his debut for Montenegro in his country's first ever competitive match on 24 March 2007, a friendly against Hungary in Podgorica and made 25 appearances, scoring one goal.[2] His final international was an October 2011 European Championship qualification match away against Switzerland.[3]

Managerial career

edit

In early 2015, Batak was appointed assistant manager to Alexandre Gama at Thai club Buriram United.[5] He switched to fellow Thai club Sisaket the following year.

In April 2017, Batak was appointed manager of Vojvodina.[1] He parted ways with the club on 30 June following a 2–1 home win over Ružomberok in the first leg of the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League first qualifying round.[6]

After two seasons spent in Thailand, Batak returned to Serbian football on 25 February 2020, as a manager of Serbian SuperLiga club Radnički Niš.[7] He works with another UEFA Pro licensed coach Davor Berber who joined from AFC Champions League club Tai Po.

Batak's first game was against Vojvodina, the club where he started his career, played for six years, and had managed back in 2017.[8]

In November 2020, Batak was appointed coach of Serbian SuperLiga club Novi Pazar, alongside Davor Berber.[9]
