Uroš Ćosić (Serbian Cyrillic: Урош Ћосић; born 24 October 1992 in Belgrade) is a Serbian footballer who plays for Greek Superleague club AEK Athens.
On 2 July 2017, AEK Athens and Empoli have reached an agreement for the transfer move of the Serbian central defender to the Super League club. The 25-year-old former player of Red Star Belgrade, Pescara and Frosinone, who made 14 performances during 2016-17 season at Serie A with the struggling Italian team, is expected in Athens in order to complete the final details of deal and sign his four-season contract with AEK. On 3 July 2017, after successfully passing his medicals he put pen to paper to a three (plus one) years' contract. AEK paid €500,000 to acquire Ćosić from Empoli, which has a resale rate of 25%.
On 2 August 2017 he made his official debut in a 1-0 away defeat against CSKA Moscow for the second leg of the Champions League third qualifying round. On 24 September 2017 he was sent-off, after an altercation with Bjorn Engels in a dramatic 3-2 home win against Olympiacos. Five days later both players were suspended with a two-match ban.
Ćosić has already played for the Serbia U-19 team and has been selected in early 2011 for the Serbia U-21 team.
