This article will tell you about Novak Djokovic’s favourite football club and the clubs that he would love to play for.
Novak Djokovic earned his 24th Grand Slam championship in September 2023, when he defeated Daniil Medvedev in straight sets in the 2023 US Open final. Despite being a superb tennis player, the Serb’s passion for football is well-documented.
He was seen at San Siro during the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League semi-final match between AC Milan and Inter Milan.
He also posed for a photo with Zlatan Ibrahimovic after the game. He has been photographed sporting an AC Milan shirt on several occasions. According to Djokovic (via Goal):
“I’m a big fan of Milan and I’ll always be. For me, football is second only [to] tennis. My father was a professional footballer and at home, we always watch the Rossoneri’s games with great interest.”
Furthermore, a few Milan players attended the Serbian’s match at the Shanghai Masters in 2014. After the game, Djokovic moved to social media to thank the Italian giants for their support and attendance.
After tennis, the 24-time Grand Slam winner admits that football is his second favorite sport. Rafael Nadal, Djokovic’s arch-rival, is also a great football lover. Miguel Ngel Nadal, his uncle, was a professional football player who played for FC Barcelona from 1991 to 1999.
