Nemanja Nikolić (Serbian Cyrillic: Немања Николић, pronounced [němaɲa nǐkolitɕ]; Hungarian: Nikolics Nemanja [ˈnikolitʃ ˈnɛmaɲa]; born 31 December 1987) is a Yugoslavian-born Hungarian footballer who plays as a striker for Major League Soccer club Chicago Fire. Born in Serbia, he never got a call from the Serbian national team so he chose to represent the Hungarian national team.
Nikolić was born in Senta, Yugoslavia to a Serbian father and a Hungarian mother. He began his career with his brother at FK Senta.
On 7 February 2008 Nikolić was signed by Kaposvár. He played his first match against Videoton. He managed to score thirty goals in just 49 matches therefore many top Hungarian sides wanted to sign him such as Újpest, Ferencváros and Videoton.
In 2010 Videoton signed Nikolić. He became top scorer in the 2009-10 season of the Hungarian League.
