Ibrahim "Ibro" Rahimić (born 17 April 1963) is a Bosnian professional football manager and former player who played as a defender. He is the current caretaker manager of Bosnian Premier League club Velež Mostar.

Playing career

[edit]

Rahimić played for hometown club Velež Mostar on two occasions and also for Leotar. He was part of the Velež team that played the 1988–89 Yugoslav Cup final match against Partizan. He had to retire from football in 1991 at the early age of 28, due to a serious knee injury sustained in a Yugoslav league match while playing for Velež.

Rahimić made over 100 appearances for Velež in all competitions, as well as nearly 50 league matches for Leotar.

Managerial career

[edit]

Velež Mostar

[edit]

In September 2012, Rahimić was named the new manager of Velež. In his first season with the club, Velež finished 13th in the league, avoiding relegation. In September 2013, after a poor start to the 2013–14 season, Rahimić was sacked.[1]

Mladost Doboj Kakanj

[edit]

On 14 June 2015, Rahimić became the new manager of Bosnian Premier League newcomer Mladost Doboj Kakanj.[2] In his first season with Mladost, the club finished in 10th place in the league and avoided relegation. After a good start to the next season, Rahimić left Mladost to return to Velež in September 2016.[3]

Return to Velež

[edit]

On 26 September, Rahimić was appointed manager of Velež.[4] After two seasons, Rahimić guided Velež to promotion to the Bosnian Premier League after finishing first in the 2018–19 season.[5]

On 5 August 2019, following a series of poor results in the 2019–20 Premier League season, Rahimić resigned as Velež manager.[6]

Return to Mladost

[edit]

One month after leaving Velež, Rahimić returned to Mladost Doboj Kakanj on 10 September.[7] His first competitive game back in charge of Mladost ended in a 1–0 away loss to Čelik Zenica on 14 September.[8] His first win at Mladost was in a cup game against Jedinstvo Bihać four days later.[9]

On 27 November 2019, it was announced by Mladost that Rahimić had left the club by mutual consent after disappointing results.[10]

Third stint at Velež

[edit]

On 1 October 2025, Rahimić was appointed as Velež's caretaker manager amidst an unexpected early relegation battle.[11] He was victorious in his first game back, beating Sloga Doboj 2–0 at home on 4 October.[12]
