The 2007\/08 domestic season ended badly for Dario Kne\u017eevi\u0107 as his club, AS Livorno Calcio, finished bottom of Serie A and were relegated. However, the tough-tackling defender was undoubtedly one of the team's best performers in a disappointing campaign and did enough to earn a place in Slaven Bili\u0107's UEFA EURO 2008 squad.

Made the grade in Croatia with hometown club HNK Rijeka, winning domestic cup two seasons running (2004\/05 and 2005\/06); played in both legs of the two finals (against HNK Hajduk Split and NK Varteks, respectively).

Never scored a league goal in four seasons at Rijeka; also failed to pass beyond the qualifying round in three successive UEFA Cup campaigns.

Joined Livorno on three-year contract in August 2006, making Serie A debut, against FC Internazionale Milano, two months later.

Scored three goals in 35 appearances in 2007\/08.

Just one UEFA EURO 2008 qualifying appearance – in 6-0 victory away to Andorra – but came on as a substitute in first two friendlies of 2008 v Netherlands and Scotland.

Kne\u017eevi\u0107 joined Livorno just a couple of weeks after playing in the city for Croatia against Italy – and beating the just-crowned world champions 2-0.<\/P>","D41F91B0720932DCFCEBDA572EB68D71":"1982-4-20","99B9FE00554E753D0BC6E1E16DA9F791":"Juventus[on loan]","411CCFA197052F93":"Dario Knezevic","BA50BEB0DB40F3ADF7C4575FF4221F17":"","C403D9D9F071ACF5":"32320","6A0E980854EFD8AD1B424574AD15DF0D":"2012-7","BFA4903D06441BD5032C18CFE9B50683":"","4039037DD85D60421E356E7B3EA31BE5":"Juventus[on loan],Livorno,NK Orijent Rijeka","60DC9D976694DF52":"1","FAF88D97B63B269A":"184cm","797F91F0051E8E7502912D1DDA7DF5C1":"Croatia","BCB817AACBF8A2A6870B9B82788BC0CB":"2","BDC97245F9A52F8B":"","2134628892B06B90":"Dario Knezevic","EABD711929A60B526AB9CD802EC5F0A7":"5","8025E7E497D77CF6":"NK Rijeka","e_index":9};
