FK Željezničar managers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since it was founded in 1921, FK Željezničar had 52 different coaches or managers. Some of them were named at that position more than once. It is interesting that the club did not have a coach at the beginning. It was before the second season that Adolf Šmit was chosen to be the coach and a player at the same time.
It is important to notice that frequent coach changes are not unusual in FK Željezničar. However, there were several coaches that stayed more than the others. Josip Šebalj, Milan Ribar and Ivica Osim are rare examples of long serving managers at the club.
FK Željezničar had three foreign managers as well. František Bičiště was from former Czechoslovakia, László Fenyvesi from Hungary and most recently, Jiří Plíšek from Czech Republic. All the others were from Bosnia-Herzegovina or other parts of former Yugoslavia.
