Zoran Kokot is a Serbian forward born on June 28, 1985 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Throughout his career he has played for Slavija and Olimpik in Bosnia, the CSL’s Serbian White Eagles, Belgian side KSK Beveren and for Mes Sarchesme and Gol Gohar in Iran.



Recently, he has been linked with the Ottawa Fury and FC Edmonton. We caught up with Kokot to ask him on the possible move.



“I’d love to try my luck abroad again – specifically in Canada,” Kokot told RedNation. “My contract with FK Slavija expired this winter. We all know that the Bosnian league doesn’t have money and that athletes here are barely surviving. The conditions are the same in both entities. The field conditions are terrible in most stadiums and that’s unfortunately why the league can’t advance. The fan-base is getting smaller but there are many talented players both young and old. When there are derby matches then the stands are full which is what true soccer needs.”



The 29 year old forward would bring experience to both the Fury or Edmonton should he make the move to the North American Second Division.



“I have phenomenal and unforgettable memories from Canada,” Kokot explained. “I remember Marc Dos Santos (now head coach of Ottawa Fury), who is both a good coach and person. I met him when I was on a five-day trial in Montreal for the Impact. It didn’t come to fruition then but I would love to have an opportunity like that again.”



Kokot has one call-up for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team and was voted one of the country’s best players in 2012 and 2013.
