Bazdarevic, who continues his behind the scenes work for the Bosnian national team, is visiting England this week for the first stop in his tour across Europe, where he plans to personally introduce himself to every national team player.
This week, he will meet with Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko and Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, who both play in the Premier League. Muhamed Besic, on the other hand, who also plays in England as a midfielder for Everton, won't be able to meet the new Bosnian coach this week because of obligations with Everton.
Bazdarevic also announced that his next stop after England is Belgium, where one of his meetings is scheduled to be with potential Bosnian international Dino Arslanagic, who currently plays in Belgium's youth teams. Arslanagic, who has yet to decide between Belgium and Bosnia, could easily be persuaded should Mehmed offer him a role in his new squad.
In the month since being named Bosnia's new coach, Bazdarevic has already shown he is more than motivated enough to take on his new role. This is evidenced by his completion of several small behind the scenes missions, including the scouting trip in Italy last week.
