After that, Hasagić was a member of Altay in Turkey but didn't see much first team football. He went back to Bosnia and played for Rudar Kakanj and Bosna Visoko. In 2003, he signed a contract with Željezničar. Here he found good form and even became first choice goalkeeper for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.
During the 2004–05 season, he moved to Turkey once again where he signed for Turkish Süper Lig side Gaziantepspor. In 2007, he moved over to another Turkish Süper Lig side in İstanbul Başakşehir. In 2012, Hasagić retired from football early after injuries shattered his career.
