Hyderabad FC have confirmed the arrival of their third new foreigner of the season, Stefan Sapic. The Serbian has signed the documents, completed the medical tests and has now arrived in the city to be officially presented as a new signing.
Sapic stands at 6’8″ tall and is the tallest player in the ISL. After the arrival of Cy Goddard and Allan Paulista, Sapic is the third new foreigner for the Nizams as they attempt to rebuild their team.

With Alex Saji ruled out for the season due to a serious injury, the club needed a physically dominating centre-back. And they have achieved exactly that by bringing in Sapic.
The player joins from Bosnian side Zvijezda 09, having terminated his contract with them since the Nizams are still not eligible to sign contracted players from other clubs.
Having played across Europe, including the Europa League and Europa Conference League qualifiers, he brings a wealth of experience to the table too. It now remains to be seen if he can help Thangboi Singto’s side climb out of the bottom of the table after their disappointing start to the season.
