Career
Kovačević is a product of Vojvodina youth system.
Vojvodina
He made his professional debut for Vojvodina against Javor in May 2010, but due to extremely strong competition for two central defender positions, he never managed to make an impact at the club.
Hajduk Kula
Kovačević was loaned to another Serbian SuperLiga side Hajduk Kula for 2010–11 season. There he didn't make an instant impact, but as the season progressed, he established himself as one of the club's top defenders. He scored his first senior goal against Red Star Belgrade in surprise 2-0 home win.
Proleter Novi Sad
After loan return from Hajduk, Kovačević spent an entire season 2011–12 trying to break into the first team, but has only made 3 league appearances. Next season he was loaned out to local Serbian First League side Proleter Novi Sad.
Spartak Subotica
At the beginning of August 2013 Kovačević signed with Serbian SuperLiga side Spartak Subotica. During his stay, Vladimir finally managed to break into the first team. In three seasons, he reached two Serbian Cup semifinals with the club(in 2013–14 and 2015–16). Kovačević was primarily used as a Center-back, but was equally successful when deployed as a defensive midfielder. His above-par performances drew attention of multiple clubs, including his former club Vojvodina.
Second spell at Vojvodina
On 1 June 2016, Kovačević re-signed for Vojvodina, on a three-year-deal.
Kortrijk
After solid 6 months in Vojvodina, on 28 January 2017, Kovačević signed four-and-a-half-year-deal with Belgian side Kortrijk.
