Club career

Bordeaux

Born in

Championnat de France Amateur with the senior reserves, he earned praise from first team manager Laurent Blanc.[3]

Sertic made his debut in

En Avant de Guingamp in the round of 16 of the Coupe de la Ligue where he came on as a late substitute.[5] His first goal in the former competition was scored in only his second appearance, helping the hosts defeat FC Sochaux-Montbéliard 3–0.[6]

For the 2010–11 season, Sertic was loaned to fellow league club RC Lens.[7]

Marseille

On 30 January 2017, Sertic signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Olympique de Marseille.[8][9] During his spell at the Stade Vélodrome, he played sparingly due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[10][11]

In February 2019, Sertic moved to FC Zürich of the Swiss Super League until the end of the season.[12] He announced his retirement in November 2020 at the age of 31, and immediately started working as a pundit for Canal+.[13]

International career

On 25 May 2009, Sertic was called up for the first time to the

Toulon Tournament.[14] He made his debut in the competition on 6 June, playing 36 minutes in the 1–0 group stage defeat of Portugal.[15]

Sertic was granted Croatian citizenship in March 2013, as his paternal grandfather was a native of Brinje who moved to the French capital.[16][17][2] However, FIFA did not allow him to play for that national team due to new rules about naturalisation of players : he did not have Croatian nationality when he represented France U-21, and neither did his parents.
