Career
Born in Bačko Dobro Polje, Sekulović joined Vrbas in 1971. He spent two seasons at the club, scoring 62 goals from 61 appearances in the Vojvodina League, the third tier of Yugoslav football.[1] After impressive displays with Vrbas, Sekulović moved to Yugoslav First League club Vojvodina in mid-1973. He only spent half a season there, making his debut in the top flight, before returning to Vrbas. In spring 1974, Sekulović netted 13 goals in 16 appearances, helping the side win promotion to the Yugoslav Second League.[1] He was the club's top scorer over the next few seasons, helping them win the Vojvodina League on two more occasions (1976–77 and 1978–79). In the 1981 winter transfer window, Sekulović switched to fellow Second League club AIK Bačka Topola.
After retiring from the game, Sekulović managed numerous clubs in his homeland, most notably Vrbas (three times) and Hajduk Kula (1989–1992).
Death
On 5 June 2013, Sekulović died due to illness at the age of 62.[2]
