Career

edit

After spending two seasons with Borovo in the Yugoslav Second League,[3][4] Racić earned a transfer to Yugoslav First League side Red Star Belgrade in 1966. He mostly served as a backup for Ratomir Dujković, helping them win three consecutive championship titles (1968, 1969, and 1970) and two national cups (1968 and 1970). After completing his military service, Racić was sent on loan to Sutjeska Nikšić during the 1971–72 winter transfer window, remaining at the club until the summer of 1973.

In 1974, Racić moved abroad to Spain and signed with newly relegated Segunda División side Castellón, spending the rest of his career at the club. He helped them win the 1980–81 Segunda División, earning promotion to the top flight after seven years.
