Partizan
Božić was signed by the Partizan Belgrade in 2004 at the beginning of the season. In the same season he won the Serbian Super League with the club. Years spent captaining the club, he became club legend with the most appearances for the club ever in history. He has won over 17 trophies with Partizan and is dubbed by the Partizan fans as a "professional trophy lifter".
Coaching career
Following his retirement from the professional basketball, he was named an assistant coach of Duško Vujošević in Partizan back in 2013. After Partizan decided not to extend a contract with Vujošević, Božić was named the new head coach of the team in September 2015. On January 5, 2016, he parted ways with the team after 6–12 record in the ABA League.
