	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Blaz Sliskovic
		Sliskovic is one of the cult footballing personalities throughout the former Yugoslavia.
		Sliskovic's footballing prowess was matched only by his less than professional attitude towards his duties: he was known to disappear from the club for a couple of days, much in the style of George Best in his Manchester United heyday, only to win back the coach's confidence with another sensational performance.
		Sliskovic's ascension to the national team post coincided with the long-awaited unification of club football in the country, after years of ethnic Serb, Croat and Bosnian Muslim leagues.

		Sliskovic said that his decision to resign was made on the spur of the moment because he had failed to fulfil a promise to win both opening games.
		Sliskovic said that he would now concentrate on forthcoming matches with Moldova and Greece and after that "we can talk soberly and in peace and maybe then make some decisions".
		Sliskovic, 47, has been in charge since 2002 and narrowly failed to take Bosnia to Euro 2004 and this year's World Cup.

		The Bosnian national team manager Blaz "Baka" Sliskovic holds a unique distinction in modern football: besides coaching Bosnia and Hercegovina, the 45-year old former soccer idol is Hajduk Split manager.
		It may look as though the FA is eagerly awaiting his first serious slip to sack him, but Bosnia earned a good draw with the Spaniards in Zenica, which gave the coach a new lease of life in one of his current jobs.
		A major idol in Yugoslavia, Sliskovic signed for Olympique Marseille in 1986, but in spite of many good displays he was transferred to Pescara of Serie A just a year later.

		Blaz Sliskovic's third-placed side still have a chance of taking a play-off spot after a goal from Sergej Barbarez earned a 1-0 win against Belgium at the Bilino Polje stadium in Zenica on Saturday.
		If Sliskovic's men then win their remaining games, against San Marino and Serbia and Montenegro, their luck could be in.
		With Lithuania having proved tricky opponents so far, perhaps Sliskovic is sensible to be cautious, but with Mirsad Bešlija, Ivica Grlic and Branimir Bajic back from suspension for Wednesday, the tide of fate may be turning in the former Yugoslav republic's direction.
