Article

Mateja Kežman (Serbian Cyrillic: Матеја Кежман, pronounced [mǎteja kêʒman]; born 12 April 1979) is a Serbian sports agent and former professional footballer who played as a striker.

Upon playing in his homeland, Kežman went on to play top-flight football in the Netherlands, England, Spain, Turkey, France, Russia, Hong Kong and Belarus. He is best known for his career at PSV, earning numerous awards and worldwide recognition as being potentially one of the greatest strikers of his generation because he was named Dutch Footballer of the Year in 2003. Kežman was subsequently labeled as not as successful as expected after his time at Chelsea, due to him being expected to have a high standard of playing. By the end of his illustrious career, he had amassed a record number of championship medals in the top-tier competitions of five different countries. Internationally, Kežman represented FR Yugoslavia / Serbia and Montenegro in one European Championship and one World Cup.
