[edit] Career[edit] Early careerPandev began his football career with FK Belasica, the club with which he progressed through the youth academy.[1][2] He only spent one season in the local Prva Liga though, before being signed by major Italian Serie A club Internazionale in the summer of 2001 when he was just 18 years old.[2] Inter sent young Pandev on loan to Spezia, where he was a regular in Serie C1.[3] The following year, he was again sent on loan, this time to newly promoted Ancona. Despite the Dorici having a nightmare of a season, the worst of any club in Serie A history, Pandev made twenty appearances and scored one goal, gaining valuable experience. [edit] LazioIn 2004, Serbian star Dejan Stanković was signed by Inter from Lazio and Pandev was sent to the capital in exchange on a co-ownership deal. In July 2005 another half of registration rights was transferred from Internazionale to Udinese for David Pizarro's transfer. Pandev impressed in his first year at Lazio, as he made 29 appearances, scoring 3 goals including a memorable effort away to Juventus where he beat Fabio Cannavaro, Lilian Thuram and Gianluca Zambrotta, before beating Gianluigi Buffon with an angled shot. The following season, Delio Rossi was appointed manager of Lazio, and Pandev began to form a deadly strike partnership with Tommaso Rocchi. Lazio opted to purchase Pandev's full contract in the summer of 2006, bidding around 4 million euro for Udinese's share in the contract, which they had bought from Inter.[citation needed] In 2007-08, Pandev began to attract attention from some of Europe's greatest clubs, especially after a fine performance in the UEFA Champions League against Real Madrid in which he scored twice. On the 11 January 2009 he scored his first hat-trick in Serie A against Reggina.[4] On 24 March 2009, Pandev was awarded the Medal for Service to the Country by the then-president of the Republic of Macedonia Branko Crvenkovski in acknowledgement of his sporting achievements and his contribution to developing and popularizing sport in Macedonia as well as promoting the country abroad.[5] [edit] Contract dispute with LazioIn the summer of 2009, a dispute between Pandev and Lazio president Claudio Lotito erupted, resulting in a legal battle between Pandev and his club. The ruling was announced on December 23 2009.[6][7][8] The dispute started with Pandev indicating his desire to leave Lazio during the summer of 2009. Club president Lotito, apparently unhappy with Pandev's decision, froze him out of the squad. As a result, Pandev spent the remaining four months training on his own, without making a single appearance for his club. During this period, various clubs had indicated their interest in buying Pandev, most notably Zenit St.Petersburg, who made an offer of 13 million euros for the player. Lazio president Lotito rejected the offer, demanding 15 million euros instead. The deal eventually fell through after both parties failed to come to an agreement on price.[9] On 26 September, Goran Pandev officially filed for a termination of his contract with Lazio, having been frozen out of the squad and labelled a 'rebel' by the club. Pandev argued that by freezing him out of the squad, Lazio had violated the terms of their contract with him. On 23 December 2009, Lega Calcio ruled in Pandev's favor, ordering Lazio to release Pandev from his contract and pay him 170,000 euros for emotional distress. Lotito indicated his desire to appeal the decision. [edit] InterOn 4 January, 2010 Pandev signed a five-year contract with Internazionale.[10] Pandev will wear the number 27 shirt. He made his Internazionale debut as a starter in the 1:0 away win against Chievo on January 6th. He also featured in the game vs Siena the weekend after. In his first two games for Inter, he has had a hand in both winners - setting up Balotelli against Chievo, and setting up Walter Samuel with a perfectly weighted through ball to score a last minute winner against Siena. Goran scored his first goal against A.C. Bari, pulling a goal back for Internazionale after falling behind by two goals, three minutes later, Inter leveled matters with Diego Milito scoring with a penalty won by Pandev. In the 2-0 victory over AC Milan, he assisted Diego Milito with a splendid overhead cross, and scored a brilliant curling freekick, followed by removing his jersey and pumping his arms in celebration (getting the crowd very loud), to seal a great win after having Wesley Sneijder sent off. Mourinho had indicated from the sidelines that the Macedonian was to take the shot, and the hitman repaid his manager with a wonderful strike.[11] [edit] International careerPandev, so far, has won 52 caps[12] for his country and scored 22 goals. With his 2 goals against Spain, he has become Macedonia's all-time leading scorer, surpassing Gjorgji Hristov. [edit] International goals
