Branislav Krunić


Branislav Krunić is a Bosnian professional football manager and former player.

International career

Krunić made his debut for Bosnia and Herzegovina on 11 October 2002, against Germany.
After that match, Krunić was recalled by Fuad Muzurović in March 2007, for UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying. In total, Krunić played four times at the qualifying. After Muzurović was sacked, Krunić was selected once for the national team by Miroslav Blažević.

Managerial career

Krunić retired from football on 15 March 2013, because the issue in football had overshadowed the risk of heart disease, but later returned again as a player-manager to the then Bosnian fourth division club Željezničar Banja Luka, who he led in the First League of RS during the 2017–18 season.
He again retired in May 2018, but once again came out of retirement in November 2018 and came back to Željezničar Banja Luka. In January 2019, he left Željezničar and once again retired from the game and decided to focus only on his managerial career.
From June to October 2018, he was manager of at the time Bosnian Premier League club Krupa.
On 9 June 2019, it was announced that Krunić became the new manager of Borac Banja Luka. He led Borac to a third-place finish in the first half of the 2019–20 season, with the same number of points as second placed Željezničar and only one point less than first placed Sarajevo. On 5 March 2020, Krunić was sacked after 0–2 defeats against Sarajevo in the league and Željezničar in the cup, with Borac being in poor form.
