Vučinić started out at his hometown club Sutjeska Nikšić before being snapped up by

in Italy during the summer of 2000 at age 16. The man who initiated the transfer was the club's sporting director at the time, Pantaleo Corvino, who has since developed a reputation for having a good eye when it comes to football talent coming out of Eastern Europe. In his fourth season for the club, 21-year-old Vučinić scored 19 goals in 28 Serie A games, including a hat-trick versus
Lazio Lazio ( , ; ) or Latium ( , ; from Latium, the original Latin name, ) is one of the 20 Regions of Italy, administrative regions of Italy. Situated in the Central Italy, central peninsular section of the country, it has 5,714,882 inhabitants an ...
on 1 May 2005. Following that successful season, his progress came to a halt with only nine goals recorded in 31 games as his career stalled due to injury.

Style of play

A quick, strong, talented, and technically gifted player that played with elegance and a perceived arrogance with his style of play, Vučinić was capable of both scoring and creating decisive goals for his team. He could fill any attacking position, but was often deployed as a winger on either flank, as a centre-forward, as a main striker, or even as a deep lying striker. Vučinić drew praise in the media for his vision, footballing intelligence, team play, and short passing accuracy, which allowed him to create chances for teammates and also made him an effective assist provider. His positioning and intelligent offensive movement enabled him to provide depth for his team and create space for teammates; while his creativity,

skills, touch on the ball, and close control, combined with his strong physique, allowed him to retain possession under pressure, hold up the ball with his back to goal, and lay it off to his teammates. Due to his eye for goal, he was also well known for his ability to score powerful long-range goals with both feet. In spite of his height, however, he is not particularly strong in the air. Due to the skill he demonstrated in his youth, he earned the nickname "the

Maradona". Despite his talent, however, he also drew criticism throughout his career for his attitude and unpredictability on the pitch, as well as his inconsistency. Vučinić's work-rate in big matches was also brought into question at times with critics pointing to his "lazy" playing style, which often frustrated fans.
