Six rounds into the new Bosnia-Herzegovnian season the bottom three clubs in the top flight - NK Zrinjski, NK Celik and FK Modrica - have changed coaches in the hope of improving their performances.
Dzidic resignation
Franjo Dzidic has resigned as coach of Zrinjski and Stjepan Deveric, formerly youth coach at NK Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia, has been named as his successor. Celik, meanwhile, have named their third new coach since the start of the season.
Arapovic role
Omer Kopic is the latest to resign after only two matches in charge and has been replaced by Husnija Arapovic, the former coach of the Bosnia-Herzegovina B team. "Celik have started the season with a crisis and we will need a lot of effort and hard work to move higher [in the league]," Arapovic said.
Modrica sacking
Newly promoted Modrica, finally, sacked their coach, Nikola Nikic, after the 2-1 home defeat by NK Brotnjo last weekend. He has been replaced by Mitar Lukic, formerly the club's youth-team coach.
