Sanel Jahić (born October 12, 1981) is a Bosnian football player. He is currently a midfielder playing for Aris Thessaloniki F.C. in the Super League Greece.

He is a very prolific scorer and the most possible candidate for top scorers in the Premijer Liga 2007-08 season. He has a very astounding record of goals, scoring a goal in almost every game.

[edit] Clubs

Sanel Jahić was born in Strasbourg, France. He grew up there and started playing football also. After years spent playing for youth squads of RC Strasbourg and later FC Sochaux-Montbéliard, he moved to his country of origin and started playing for FK Željezničar in 2001. He played in various positions. At first, he played as a right back, but Amar Osim realized that he could give much more as a winger or even as a striker. Good games in Željezničar were his ticket for foreign clubs. He moved to UD Las Palmas in summer of 2003. and after two seasons to Mérida UD. In summer of 2006. he has returned to FK Željezničar.

He is having a time of his life in FK Željezničar, scoring most of his team's goals. He recently scored a hattrick against Modriča in November 28, 2007. in the Bosnian Cup to win 3-2, guiding FK Željezničar to the quarter-finals. This tallies the aggragate score FK Željezničar 6-5 FK Modriča with Jahić scoring five times.

Jahić signed a contract with Dušan Bajević's team, Aris Thessaloniki on December 17, 2007, for 20,000 Euro's. Although he arrived as the Bosnian premijer liga's leading scorer, Bajević placed him in defense where he soon established himself as a first-team regular. On March 20, 2008, he scored a notable goal against Xanthi to take Aris to the Greek cup semi-finals.[1] That same month, he was named in recently-appointed national team manager Meho Kodro's first complete 18-man Bosnia-Herzegovina squad for a friendly against FYR Macedonia.

[edit] Bosnia and Herzegovina

At the time, he was a regular member of Bosnia and Herzegovina Under-21 national team. In November of 2007. he was called up by Fuad Muzurović for the last game in the Euro 2008 Qualifications against Turkey. He didn't field the game but the call itself was a great honour and fulfillment of his childhood dreams.
