Career

Club career

Rakić began his career in 2005 with Cement Beočin in Serbian League Vojvodina.

In 2013 Aleksandar moved to Armenian Premier League where he scored 22 goals in 70 games for Ararat Yerevan and Gandzasar Kapan.[2]

Chennai City FC

In February 2018 Rakić joined I-League club Chennai City as a replacement for Murilo de Almeida.[3]

"I have played against Mohun Bagan (won twice against them) and Bengaluru (FC) last season. We ran Bengaluru close and were only denied a zonal semi-final spot based on head-to-head record. I have also watched the I-League games online in Serbia so you can say that my knowledge of the clubs and players is pretty good. I cannot wait to play my first game once my employment visa is approved"

—Rakić on joining Chennai City[4]

He made his debut in a 0-0 draw against Mohun Bagan.[5] He scored his first goal in a 3-1 home win against Churchill Brothers.

PS TIRA

In March 2018, he moved to Southeast Asia from India to join and play for Indonesia club PS TIRA of the Liga 1 after he was sold by Chennai City. [6]
