Club Career

Pesic started his youth career in NK Oluja, the club from his native village of Cista Velika. At the age of 12, he moved to the seaside NK Vodice for two seasons before moving on to the HNK Hajduk Split youth setup. A youth U-19 international, he remained at the club in his first senior year, but featured only in friendlies and a single Croatian Football Cup match, against Jadran Gunja. Released at the end of the season, he moved to Austria Klagenfurt, but after a single youth team and state cup match, he returned to Croatia, this time to HNK Sibenik in the Druga HNL.

Pesic's fledgling career was brought to a temporary halt by a traffic accident. After only 9 matches in the year and a half at Sibenik, Pesic had moved on to the Prva HNL team NK Zadar in early 2014. However, due to inflammation of his pubic bone, Pesic played in only 2 matches until the end of the season.

However, Pesic became a first-team regular the following (2014/15) season, under coach Miroslav Blazevic. He would go on to amass four goals and eight assists from his preferred left wing position. This resulted in his transfer to RNK Split, having earned the reputation as one of the quickest players in the league.

After his club's relegation in the summer of 2017, Pesic rejoined HNK Hajduk Split.

In 2018, he joined Romanian club Dinamo București. He was loaned out at Shakhter Karagandy in 2019 and released by Dinamo in January 2020, after his return from Shakhter.

On 15 February 2020, Pesic signed for FC Kaisar.
