Zdravko Kuzmanoviæ (Serbian Cyrillic: Здравко Кузмановић; born 22 September 1987 in Bern, Switzerland) is a Swiss-born Serbian footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for ACF Fiorentina in the Italian Serie A.
Born in Switzerland to a family of Serbian expats (his father hails from a small Skugriæi village near Modrièa, in Republik of Srpska, SFR Yugoslavia), Kuzmanoviæ continued the family tradition as both his father Ljubo and his grandfather played football for the local club in Gradaèac - FK Zvijezda.[1] Kuzmanoviæ's father also played professionally in Berlin, before eventually ending his career at FC Thun of Switzerland, and continuing to live in the country.
International career
In early 2007, Serbian FA began talks with him about the possibility of playing for the Serbian National football team[4] and he accepted call up to squad against Kazakhstan and Portugal in March 2007. He scored his first two (and only so far) goals for Serbia in the away game versus Belgium, but they weren't enough to get a point, since Serbia lost 3-2. Although Kuzmanoviæ was born in Thun and played for Switzerland at youth level, he has decided to play for Serbia on the senior level, stating: "I'm Serbian and I want to give all for my country, it's a matter of what you feel in your heart and I must listen to it."
