Boban Jankovic was married to his wife when he suffered from the injury. However, no other source has mentioned much information about her. 

However, it is said that she left him a few months after he was left paralyzed. The couple had a son named Vlado Jankovic, who is also a professional football player. 

Boban, on the other hand, was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. After 13 years, he gained weight to the extent that it stressed his heart. 

Sadly, the player passed away at the early age of 42 in June 2006.
