Returning to Sarajevo in 1997, there was no infrastructure for him to continue playing football, but a basketball club opened in the city.[8] He is the older brother of Nedim Đedović. He has also held German citizenship since April 2015.[9]
Đedović has gained international attention for his physical resemblance to Swedish footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović, whose father was Bosnian.[10][11][12]
