Admir Adžem (born 25 March 1973) is a Bosnian professional football manager and former player who is the current youth coach of UAE Pro League club Al-Wasl.
Club career[]
In his playing career Adžem was a full-back. It is said that he was a very strong player and that it was really hard to get past him.
Adžem played for a number clubs. He played for hometown club Željezničar on 4 occasions, Zagreb, Đerzelez, Pogoń Szczecin, GKS Katowice and Zagłębie Sosnowiec where he finished his career.
Adžem played in 104 league games and scored 6 career league goals for Željezničar, with whom he won all of his trophies. While playing for Željezničar he won the Bosnian Premier League 2 times, in the seasons 2000–01 and 2001–02, the Bosnian Cup 1 time, in the 2000–01 cup season, the same year that Željezničar completed the double (won the league and the cup in one season). He also won the Bosnian Supercup 3 times, in 1998, 2000 and in 2001.
For all the other clubs, Adžem made 114 league appearances and scored 1 goal while playing for Katowice, thus in total playing 228 league games and scoring 7 league goals in his career.
He finished his career in 2007 while playing for Zagłębie Sosnowiec at the age of 34.
International career[]
Adžem made his senior debut for Bosnia and Herzegovina in a February 1997 friendly match against Vietnam and has earned a total of 14 caps, scoring 1 goal. He played in both UEFA Euro 2000 and the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaigns. His final international was an August 2001 LG Cup match against Iran.[1]
Managerial career[]
Željezničar[]
On 6 June 2014, Adžem was named new manager of ��eljezničar replacing Dino Đurbuzović who was sacked earlier in the day.[2] In 22 games Adžem amassed an impressive record of 11 wins, 7 draws and only 4 losses.
On 15 December 2014, Adžem had to be removed from the position of manager due to not having an UEFA Pro Licence to manage a first team of any club. He went back to coach in the club's Youth School while also working on to finish getting his license.[3]
Željezničar U19[]
Adžem managed a junior side of Željezničar from January 2015 to July 2017 with whom he won the Bosnian league title twice. First time in the 2014–15 season[4] and the second time in the 2016–17 season.[5]
Return to Željezničar (first team)[]
On 23 July 2017, Adžem came back to the position of manager of Željezničar's first team after almost 3 years of his first appointment.[6]
In that season Adžem won the club's first trophy in 5 years after beating Krupa in the two legged final of the 2017–18 Bosnian Cup. In the first game, Željezničar beat Krupa 2–0 and in the second game 4–2.[7] He also could have won the double since Željezničar was for the majority of the season first in the league, but eventually finished on second place after a poor finish to the season.[8]
Before the start of the pre-season, on 4 June 2018, Adžem got sacked.[9]
Željezničar U17[]
In July 2019, Adžem became the new manager of the under-17 team of Željezničar.[10] In his first match as the U17 team manager, Adžem's team beat the Borac Banja Luka U17 team on 20 July 2019 at home, with the result being 2–0 for Željezničar.[11]
Adžem's first loss as the under-17 manager came on 3 August 2019, in a 1–0 away league loss against the under-17 team of Zrinjski Mostar.[12] On 27 July 2020, he left the under-17 team of Željezničar.[13]
Al-Wasl (youth)[]
On 17 September 2020, it was confirmed that Adžem had become the new youth coach of UAE Pro League club Al-Wasl.[14]
