Biography
Born in the industrial city of Kragujevac, Filip Kostić’s football journey is one of relentless evolution. He first turned heads in the Netherlands with Groningen before a move to Stuttgart solidified his reputation as a direct, old-school winger. His career truly ignited in Germany with Eintracht Frankfurt, where his powerful runs and relentless work rate made him a fan favorite and a tactical cornerstone. Under manager Adi Hütter, Kostić transformed into a devastating wing-back, his league-leading assist tally propelling Frankfurt to a historic Europa League triumph in 2022. That success earned him a high-profile transfer to Italian giants Juventus, where his consistency and delivery continue to be vital assets. For the Serbian national team, he embodies a similar spirit of unwavering industry, providing crucial width and creativity in major tournaments.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Filip was born in 1992, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
