Denijal Pirić (Bosnian pronunciation: [pǐːritɕ]; born 27 September 1946) is a Bosnian former professional football manager and player.

Club career

[edit]

Born in the small mining town of Živinice, Pirić started playing football at local side Slaven. Former Slaven manager Vlatko Konjevod then lured him to Dinamo Zagreb and played 8 years for the club. Pirić then joined Sarajevo.[1] With Dinamo, he won two domestic cups and the 1966–67 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, beating Don Revie's Leeds United in the final. He played over 350 matches for Dinamo in all competitions.[2]

International career

[edit]

Pirić made his debut for Yugoslavia in an April 1969 World Cup qualification match away against Spain and has earned a total of 6 caps, scoring 1 goal. His final international was a November 1970 friendly game against West Germany.[3]

Managerial career

[edit]

At the time a youth team coach, Pirić was given a caretaker role of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team to take charge of a home friendly game against Azerbaijan in Zenica on 1 June 2008 after the sacking of Meho Kodro. Most players for this match were assembled from the Bosnian Premier League.[4]

Pirić worked as a technical director of the Bosnian national teams until his retirement in November 2017.[5]
