Club career
editBorn in Jastreb, a location within the municipality of Danilovgrad,[3] he started playing in 1976 in the first-team of Budućnost Titograd.[3] However, after spending two seasons without debuting in the league, he decided to accept a loan deal to OFK Titograd where his younger brother Vasilije was playing.[3] They helped the club achieve promotion to the Yugoslav Second League and both Kalezić brothers stayed further one season at OFK Titograd.
Zvonko returned to Budućnost at summer 1980 and made one appearance with them in the 1980–81 Yugoslav First League. During the winter-break he moved to NK Čelik Zenica playing in the Yugoslav Second League. He played at Zenica until 1984 having been part of the generation that helped the club achieve the promotion to the First League in 1982–83, and played with them in top-league in 1983–84.[4]
In summer 1984 he joined second-level side FK Novi Pazar. In the following years he will have spells in a number of clubs in the Yugoslav Second League, chronologically, Radnički Niš, Trepča, FK Ivangrad, Rudar Pljubija and Borac Banja Luka, before finishing his career by playing in lower-league side Mornar.[3]
