Playing career

edit

After coming through the youth system of Vojvodina, Ristovski played for Novi Sad in the Second League of FR Yugoslavia. He switched to league rivals Borac Čačak in 1993, helping them earn promotion to the First League. In 1995, Ristovski moved abroad to Portugal and signed with União da Madeira. He later went on to play for Penafiel (1996–1999) and Nacional da Madeira (1999–2001).

Managerial career

edit

After hanging up his boots, Ristovski began his managerial career at Cement Beočin in July 2004. He also served as manager of Proleter Novi Sad, before signing with Serbian SuperLiga club Spartak Subotica in December 2010. In June 2011, Ristovski took charge of Vojvodina. He resigned from his position after just two months due to poor results.[1] In September 2011, Ristovski was appointed as manager of Novi Pazar, but was replaced by Dragoljub Bekvalac in April 2012.[2]
