BiH coach names squad against Austria in Nations League

Robert Prosinecki, coach of the national soccer team of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), announced the list of players for the match against Austria in UEFA Nations League on Friday.

At the press conference, Prosinecki stated that the main goal of BiH team is to remain on the first place in the group.

"Austria is a good team, almost all players play in the Bundesliga. We are going to play the best we can, and if they play as they did in the previous matches, we have enough quality to end up with some good result and remain first in the group," Prosinecki said.

"There will be a great atmosphere in Austria and I believe that our players will not deteriorate what they have done so far," Prosinecki explained.

Prosinecki added that he called 24 players for the upcoming match, and that there are two new names, namely Amer Gojak and Ermedin Demirovic, who were the best in the qualifications of BiH national youth team.
