Playing career

Club career

During his career, Hadžibegić played for FK Sarajevo, Real Betis, FC Sochaux and Toulouse FC. With Sarajevo he won the 1984–85 Yugoslav First League.

International career

Hadžibegić is the second most-capped Bosnian player and fifth overall most-capped player for the Yugoslav national team (61 caps) - first being Zlatko Vujović, who is second overall (70 caps).[1] Hadžibegić was also 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 penalty kicks, with Stojković, Brnović and Hadžibegić missing an opportunity to score from a penalty, as Stojković missed the first completely, while Sergio Goycochea stopped 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 1992, in qualifications for UEFA Euro 1992.

Managerial career

Hadžibegić 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 football team. In 2000, he took over 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 Niort. He was named the manager of Dijon FCO in January 2008, but was released in June 2009.[3] On 9 December 2009, after firing coach Philippe Anziani,[4] SC Bastia named Hadžibegić as the club's new manager.[5] He left the club in 2010. From 2010 to 2011 he managed AC Arles-Avignon and from 2016 to 2017 Valenciennes FC.

In October 2018, he replaced Régis Brouard as the Red Star F.C. manager in the French second tier.[6] On 25 March 2019, after making a series of bad results, Hadžibegić left Red Star.[7]

On 25 July 2019, it was announced that Hadžibegić became the new head coach of the Montenegro national football team.[8] 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 national team, keeping him the head coach at least until the end of the year 2020.[9] Hadžibegić was let go by the Montenegrin FA on 28 December 2020.[10]

From 25 December 2002[11] until 18 February 2004, Hadžibegić held the role of the 29th President of the Assembly of FK Sarajevo.
