Current Coaching Staff
On 28 December 2009, Sušić was named coach of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team. His debut was a friendly match against Ghana in Sarajevo. Bosnia and Herzegovina won the game 2–1 after goals from Vedad Ibišević and Miralem Pjanić. After only 2 wins in Sušić's 6 first matches in charge of the national team, including an important 2–0 loss to France in the qualification for Euro 2012, Sušić came under a lot of criticism from several journalists and columnists who called for his head.
During 2011, Sušić's Bosnia national football side recorded a 7 game unbeaten run (beating Albania, Belarus twice, Luxembourg and recording three draws against Greece, France and Portugal), conceding one goal in the process, which led to FIFA rank of 19th in the world in January to February 2012. Bosnia-Herzegovina failed to qualify for UEFA Euro 2012 losing to Portugal national football team in the play-offs for the tournament.
Safet Sušić remains as Bosnia's manager through the qualifiers for FIFA World Cup 2014.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or staff:
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.”
—George Grosz (1893–1959)
