Emir Spahić (born 18 August 1980) is a Bosnian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for German club Hamburger SV and the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.

During his club career, he has represented teams in his homeland, Croatia, Russia, France, Spain and Germany. A full international since 2003, he was the captain of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team from 2004 until the end of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He is the most-capped player in his nation's history with 87 caps, also scoring three goals.

Club career

Over the course of his career, Spahić has played for NK Zagreb, Lokomotiv Moscow and Anzhi Makhachkala.

He has played for Zagreb and Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League and with Montpellier, Sevilla and Lokomotiv in the UEFA Europa League.[2]

Montpellier

On 24 June 2009, Spahić announced that he would join newly-promoted Montpellier for the 2009–10 Ligue 1 season. On his league debut against Paris Saint-Germain, he scored a header in the 94th minute for a 1–1 draw, earning his side a point. He scored his second goal for Montpellier in a 2–2 draw against Lorient.

Sevilla

On 4 July 2011, Spahić agreed a transfer with Spanish side Sevilla for €2 million until July 2014.[3] His national teammate Miroslav Stevanović also transferred to Sevilla in January 2013 and upon his arrival at San Pablo International Airport, he was received by Spahić.[4] Spahić scored his first goal for Sevilla on 5 January 2013 in a 1–0 victory against Osasuna.[5]

Anzhi Makhachkala

On 26 February 2013, Spahić left Sevilla on loan to Anzhi Makhachkala of the Russian Premier League.[6] He scored his first goal for the club on 14 April 2013 against Volga Nizhny Novgorod.

Bayer Leverkusen

Spahić with Bayer Leverkusen in November 2014

On 28 June 2013, Spahić was signed by Bayer Leverkusen of the German Bundesliga on a two-year contract.[2] He conceded a penalty and was later sent off in a Champions League last-16 first-leg game on 18 February 2014, as Paris Saint-Germain beat Leverkusen 4–0.[7] On 20 April, he scored his first two goals for the club in a 4–1 league victory against Nürnberg.

On 30 August 2014, 34-year-old Spahić headed in a goal from a free kick to level the score at 2–2 in a game that finished 4–2 for Leverkusen against Hertha BSC, thus ensuring his team's unbeaten start to the season.[8]

Spahić was sent off for two yellow cards in a 4–5 home defeat against Wolfsburg on 14 February 2015; having been 1–4 down, the score was level at his time of dismissal.[9]

On 30 March 2015, Spahić was named the best defender in Europe (in front of Martín Demichelis of Manchester City, Mats Hummels of Borussia Dortmund, Chris Smalling of Manchester United and Thiago Silva of PSG) by International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES).[10] Spahić had his contract terminated on 12 April for headbutting a member of club's security personnel reportedly after they refused to allow his friends entry inside the dressing room area.[11]

Hamburger SV

On 5 July 2015, fellow Bundesliga team Hamburger SV confirmed Spahić as the team's newest player, signing a one-year contract lasting until June 2016.[12] He credited the move to his compatriot, former Hamburg player Sergej Barbarez, and expressed gratefulness at being given a second chance after his expulsion from Leverkusen.[13]

International career

Spahić was the captain of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team before initially announcing his retirement.[14] On 7 June 2003, he made his debut as a substitute against Romania at Stadionul Ion Oblemenco in Craiova.[15][16]

Ever since his debut, he has been an important member of the national team. He headed a ball into the box and assisted Ermin Bičakčić who scored a crucial equalizer versus Slovakia in Žilina during 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Bosnia-Herzegovina came back from one goal down in that game to win 2–1 and stay top of their qualifying group for ahead of Greece.

Spahić retired from international football on 7 August 2014.[14] After his retirement, Bosnia lost their first game of Euro 2016 qualifiers versus Cyprus (ranked 121 places behind Bosnia in FIFA Ranking for August 2014) without Spahić, which resulted in manager Safet Sušić calling him back from retirement on 22 September for the games that followed vs Wales and Belgium.[17] At the time, Bosnia's key defenders were either injured[18] or lacked competitive matches for their clubs, which prompted in Spahić's call-up to the national side. Due to short-lived injury, he missed the two games and later returned to international stage against Israel on November 16 where he played the full game, his first since playing against Iran at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Personal life

Spahić's father's family is from Sandžak, and his mother is from Gacko. They met when they were both working in Dubrovnik. Emir has three brothers, the older being Nermin, Amir and younger one Alen, who is also a football player. Spahić is a first cousin of fellow national team player Edin Džeko.[19][20]

Spahić is a great lover of tennis, and has followed live matches in Dubai, Barcelona, Montpellier and Paris.[21]

Spahić is enrolled at the University of Sarajevo, majoring in sport and physical education.[22]

Spahić is fluent in six languages: Bosnian, English, Spanish, French, German and Russian.[23]
