Club career
editDuring his career, Hadžibegić played for hometown club Sarajevo, Real Betis, Sochaux and Toulouse. He was an important member of the memorable Sarajevo squad that won the 1984–85 Yugoslav First League. At Sochaux he played for years alongside compatriot Mehmed Baždarević.
International career
editHadžibegić is the second most-capped Bosnian player and fifth overall most-capped player for the Yugoslavia national team (61 caps) - first being Zlatko Vujović, who is second overall (70 caps).[1] He made his debut for them in an October 1982 European Championship qualification match away against Norway.
Hadžibegić was a participant in the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy for Yugoslavia, appearing in all five of his team's matches. Yugoslavia went on to face Argentina in the quarter-finals, where after a 0–0 draw in regulation and extra time, elimination was decided on a penalty shoot-out. Dragan Stojković, Dragoljub Brnović and Hadžibegić missed an opportunity to score from a penalty, as Stojković missed the first completely, while Sergio Goycochea stopped the fourth by Brnović and final attempt by Hadžibegić, thus sending the Yugoslav team home.[2]
Hadžibegić featured regularly and played his last match for Yugoslavia in March 1992, a friendly game against the Netherlands.[3]
Managerial career
editHadžibegić began his managerial career with his former club Sochaux with whom he gained promotion to Ligue 1 in 1997. He was then manager of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team. In 2000, Hadžibegić took over Real Betis, with whom he gained promotion to La Liga in 2001. He came back to France with Troyes, before stints in Turkey with Gaziantepspor, Diyarbakırspor and Denizlispor.
Hadžibegić then joined Chamois Niortais. He was named manager of Dijon in December 2007, and was released in June 2009.[4] On 9 December 2009, after sacking coach Philippe Anziani, Bastia named Hadžibegić as the club's new manager.[5][6] He left the club in 2010. From 2010 to 2011, he managed Arles-Avignon and later Valenciennes, from 2016 until 2017.
In October 2018, Hadžibegić replaced Régis Brouard as Red Star manager in Ligue 2.[7] On 25 March 2019, after a series of poor results, he left Red Star.[8]
On 25 July 2019, it was announced that Hadžibegić became the new manager of the Montenegro national team.[9] The next day, on 26 July, at a press conference, it was revealed that he signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with the team, keeping him manager at least until the end of 2020.[10] He was sacked by the Montenegrin FA on 28 December 2020.[11] On 16 July 2022, Hadžibegić became the new manager of Algerian side MC Alger.[12] On 10 September 2022, he left MC Alger after three games as manager.[13]
In January 2023, Hadžibegić returned to managing the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, replacing the outgoing Ivaylo Petev.[14] He was tasked with qualifying the team for UEFA Euro 2024.[15][16] Hadžibegić was victorious in the team's opening qualifying match against Iceland on 23 March 2023.[17] He suffered his first defeat since returning on 26 March, in the second qualifying game against Slovakia.[18] After two more qualifying game defeats against Portugal and Luxembourg, he mutually terminated his contract with the Bosnian FA on 23 June 2023.[19]
