Club career

Red Star Belgrade

Born in Bijeljina, Ristić played with Partizan Donja Trnova and Rudar Ugljevik during his youth career, before he moved to Red Star Belgrade, in early 2013 thanks to a scouting search.[2] He became one of the best players in Red Star's youth teams in shortly time, and was called to the first team under coach Ricardo Sá Pinto for the last league fixture of the 2012–13 season against Vojvodina.[3] Although he did not make a deby on that match,[4] he was on the bench during the game.[5] After the end of his youth career, Ristić signed his first professional contract with Red Star Belgrade in July 2014.[6] He made his Serbian SuperLiga debut for Red Star Belgrade on 9 August 2014,[7] under coach Nenad Lalatović, when he replaced Vukan Savićević in the 82 minute in a 2-0 win against Radnički Niš.[8] During the season, he was mostly used as a defensive midfielder.[9][10] After Miodrag Božović became the first coach of the Red Star Belgrade, Ristić started 2015–16 season as a back-up player.
