Jasenko Sabitović (Korean: 이싸빅; Korean pronunciation: [i.s͈a.bik̚]; Croatian pronunciation: [jâseːnko sabǐːtoʋit͡ɕ]; born 29 May 1973) is a former professional footballer who played as a centre-back. Born in Bosnia, he received his South Korean passport in 2004 and while playing there was known as Lee Savik.

Club career

He began his playing career at NK Zagreb. Sabitović first arrived in South Korea in 1998, when he signed for the Pohang Steelers from NK Zagreb, a team in the Croatian First League.^[1]

After being released by Suwon Samsung Bluewings, rumours circulated that he would be heading to Africa, and this proved to be the case, as he was transferred to the Ghanaian football club Accra Hearts of Oak, although he was later transferred to Jeonnam Dragons.^[2]

He returned to Croatia to play for Karlovac in the First Football League.

International career

Born in Tuzla, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia, Sabitović played for the Croatia U21 national team because his mother is a Bosnian Croat. He won six international caps with the team in 1995. Because of this, he was eligible to play for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and South Korea.
