National football team of B&H did not managed to qualify for the big competition in 2015. To recall, team of Ireland eliminated Dragons in the play-offs of the EP and left B&H in the waiting room for the third time. However, statistically speaking, last year was one of the most successful years.
Mehmed Bazdarevic’s team played a total of 9 matches. They recorded 5 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.
They won against Andorra (twice), Israel, Wales and Cyprus. Dragons achieved drew against Austria (in friendly match) and Ireland in the first play-off match that was played in Zenica. They lost in a duel with Belgium and play-off in Dublin. This represents the success of 62.96 %.
Although Dzeko and his team mates failed in a key two matches of play-offs, according to results, only two years were more successful than 2015.
Thus, the performance in 2003 was 66.67 %, when the team was led by Blaz Sliskovic, while in 2013, the performance was 66.66 %, at the time when the head of the national team was Safet Susic.
Everything suggests that the coach Mehmed Bazdarevic will have difficult job in 2016, and it is obvious that the change of generations is necessary.
