Club career

Lille

Bečanović joined French club Lille ahead of the 1995-96 season. In his second season with Lille, he was the team's top scorer, having scored 13 goals over the course of the season.[1] However, Lille was still relegated to the French second division at the end of the season.

Partizan

After joining in 2000, Bečanović contributed to Partizan winning the league over two consecutive seasons in 2002 and 2003. Under coach Ljubiša Tumbaković, he shared a striker partnership with a friend from his own hometown, Andrija Delibašić. On 10 March 2001, he scored the goal in a 1-0 away win against Budućnost in front of an audience of 7,000 people.[2] Four days later, he scored a brace against Radnički Kragujevac and was named player of the match after Partizan won 4-0.[3] On 5 May 2001, he scored the first goal in a 3-4 away win against his former team, Sutjeska Nikšić.[4] In addition to his first season at Partizan, he also contributed to the team's successful 2001 Yugoslav Cup campaign. He played in the final against Red Star Belgrade on 9 May 2001, which Partizan won 1-0 at Red Star's stadium.[5]

On 7 December 2001 he scored a brace in a 3-1 win against Obilić, but suffered a broken nose after scoring the second goal.[6]
