What others are saying about Prof. Niksa Dobre :

It is quite difficult to introduce Prof. Niksa both as a writer, i.e. a spiritual person, and a top athlete since these two professions seem to be incompatible at first glance. However, people who know him well are familiar with his personality, his insatiable hunger for knowledge and spirituality as well as for successful football career. One of the few who succeeded in bridging the gap between literature and sports, the latter sometimes being referred to as "a solely physical endeavor".

University of the Physical Culture-Belgrade


To publish the first professional book at 29 and wind up with 5 other books within the next 5 years is a record of all literature and athletic communities that is worth praise and acknowledgement.

Niksa is one of the best young coaches today who promises better soccer for all of as…

I truly hope and believe that book Modern Soccer will assist the soccer professional and amateur vocation – trainers as a top-notch reminder, and new players and future national team members as the first and best designed primer on understanding the game of soccer.

Niksa has skillfully moved away from placing an equal sign between the modern and the high quality because the first does not necessarily presume the second. That’s why he has emphasized what makes the game supremely good, and that is the knowledge of individuals collected in the knowledge of the collective.
