Personal life

As the son of former Washington Diplomats midfielder Aleksandar "Alex" Mihailović,[4] Djordje was introduced to soccer at an early age. His sister, Aleksandra, played soccer at the University of New Mexico. He is of paternal Serbian and maternal Macedonian descent.[5]

Mihailovic grew up playing for his father's club, Chicago Blast. He joined the Chicago Fire youth academy in the fall of 2013, starting with the under 16s, and moving up to the under 18s the following year. Mihailovic totaled 41 goals in 66 matches during his tenure with the academy.[6]

Professional career

The Chicago Fire signed Mihailovic as a homegrown player on January 27, 2017. The 18-year-old became the ninth Homegrown signing in Fire history and the first player born after the club's founding in 1997.[7] He made his MLS debut on March 11, 2017 in a 2–0 home victory over Real Salt Lake. He was subbed on for Michael de Leeuw in the 93rd minute.[8] He scored his first MLS goal on September 27, 2017 in a 4–1 away victory over the San Jose Earthquakes. His goal, assisted by Matt Polster, came in the 14th minute and was the first of the match.[9] During the Knockout Round clash with the New York Red Bulls, Mihailovic was diagnosed with a ruptured ACL after a tackle that left him in serious pain. Mihailovic would miss 6–8 months before returning to the field.[10]

On December 17, 2020, Mihailovic was traded to CF Montréal in exchange for $400,000 in 2021 General Allocation Money, $400,000 in 2022 General Allocation Money, as well as $200,000 in conditional General Allocation Money. Mihailovic also signed a new three-year deal with Montreal.[11]

On August 24, 2022 Montreal announced a transfer had been agreed with Eredivisie side AZ for Mihailovic, effective January 1, 2023.[12]
