'Ciro' hopes to end career in China

It was a long time ago when Miroslav Blazevic embarked on his lifetime mission - to coach until it was his time to say goodbye to this world. He is still on that mission.

"On several occasions I tried to retire and lead a more peaceful life but I am not good at this. It's more than obvious that football is my life so I will continue to work as long as I get a chance to coach. With my age I feel privileged that I still get a chance to work. I hope I will fulfill my wish and draw my last breath on the bench," Blazevic said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua recently.

His 50th season on the bench just came to a glorious end. He won the Bosnian second division title with Sloboda Tuzla and he revived a club that was once one of the best soccer teams in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
