Faruk Hadžibegić (born 7 October 1957) is a Bosnian-Herzegovinian football manager and former player who is currently a free agent.
Playing career
During his career he played for FK Sarajevo, Real Betis, FC Sochaux and Toulouse FC.
International career
Hadžibegić is second most capped Bosnian-Herzegovinian player and fifth overall most capped player for the Yugoslavia national football 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 and took one of three missed penalties against Argentina, other two being Dragan Stojković and Dragoljub Brnović. Yugoslavia went on to face Argentina in 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 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.

He began his coaching career with his former club Sochaux with whom he gained promotion to Ligue 1 in 1997. He was then manager of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 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, Diyarbakirspor and Denizlispor. He then joined Niort. He was the manager of Dijon FCO since January 2008, but was released in June 2009.[3] On 9 December 2009 after firing coach Philippe Anziani,[4] SC Bastia have finally officialized the name of his substitute that will be the former Dijon FCO coach.[5]
