Club career

After playing for Budućnost Podgorica, Muratović joined Yugoslav champions Lovćen in 2001. He helped them win two consecutive national cups (2002[1] and 2003[2]). In 2003, Muratović moved abroad to Spain and signed with Cangas. He would switch to fellow Liga ASOBAL club Valladolid in 2005.

In 2008, Muratović was transferred to German team SG Flensburg-Handewitt. He suffered a shoulder injury during a friendly game in January 2009,[3] causing him to miss the rest of the season. In May 2010, his contract was terminated by mutual consent.[4]

In 2013, Muratović returned to handball and joined his former club Cangas.

International career

At international level, Muratović represented Serbia and Montenegro at the 2005 World Championship and 2006 European Championship. He was later a founding member of the Montenegro national team, taking part at the 2008 European Championship.
