Meho Kodro is no longer the coach of the BiH National Football Team, and he is leaving the Dragon’s helm after only two games, it was confirmed for Klix.ba.
Kodro came to the position of coach after Faruk Hadžibegić, and although he seemed like a long-term solution, he led the Dragons for only two games and after the defeat against Iceland, it was decided that he would no longer lead our national team from the bench.
In the first match, our team beat Lichtenstein in Zenica with a score of 2:1, and then in Iceland, despite a much better game, we lost by a goal in the very end, and thus definitely lost our chances of directly qualifying for the European Championship.
Interestingly, Kodro led the Dragons in only two games in the second term, as was the case in the first.
After the end of a rich playing career in which he also played for Barcelona, Kodro had his first coaching engagement in 2006 at Real Sociedad as an assistant.
In January 2008, he became the head coach of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but he led our team in only two friendly matches, in which he recorded a draw against North Macedonia (2:2) and a defeat against Japan (3:0). He was fired already in May when he protested that the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina arranged a friendly match with Iran without his consent.
Not long after his dismissal, he returned to Sociedad where he worked with the younger categories, and in 2010 he took over the B team of the team from San Sebastian and managed it for three seasons.
He became the coach of Sarajevo in the 2014/2015 season and stayed there for 17 games.
The Swiss Servette was in charge from December 2016 to March 2018, and his last engagement, also the longest senior one, was leading Lausanne for two seasons, and he was without a club since the summer of last year.
