Sportalasia- Iran national coach Miroslav Blazevic said on Friday that he is likely to sign on as the national coach of Bosnia instead of extending his contract with the Iran Football Federation.
Blazevic resigned as Iran's coach after his failure to take them to the 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan, and the former Croatia manager was at one point linked to the Ukraine national coaching post.
That position has since gone to former Soviet international Leonid Buryak, and Blazevic currently faces competition from Blaz Sliskovic to succeed Miso Smajlovic as coach of Bosnia.
Blazevic said that although his deal with Bosnia is not complete, he is confident that a concrete offer should materialize within the coming weeks.
"Don't write it's a done deal because it isn't," said Blazevic to the Jutarnji List daily in Zagreb. "Actually, you can say that I am going to (Bosnian capital) Sarajevo.
