Mehmed "Meho" Kodro (born 12 January 1967) is a Bosnian retired footballer who played as a striker, and a current manager. He played most of his 16-year senior career in Spain, mostly with Real Sociedad (four seasons) and Tenerife (three), amassing La Liga totals of 263 games and 105 goals. He possessed good technical skills and was equally adept in the air. After retiring Kodro started a managerial career, mainly in the country where he played more. ==Club career== Born in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Kodro's professional debut occurred in 1985 at the age of 18, with hometown club Velež Mostar. He appeared in only 14 Yugoslav First League games in his first two years combined but eventually became a starter, scoring 31 goals in his last two full seasons combined and helping the club two the 1986 Yugoslav Cup – he did not play in the final against NK Dinamo Zagreb however – and three consecutive top-three finishes. When the Yugoslav Wars began Kodro migrated to Spain – after scoring five goals in only five games in the last edition of the Yugoslavian championship – where he spent the vast majority of his remaining career. He first played with Real Sociedad of San Sebastián, always netting in double digits for the Basque, including 23 in 1993–94 and a career-best 25 in the following year, finishing second in the Pichichi Trophy race to Real Madrid's Iván Zamorano. In the 1995 off-season Kodro was purchased by FC Barcelona, starting throughout most of the season but only managing nine La Liga goals for the Catalans, including two in ''El Clásico'' against Real Madrid (3–0 home win). After ''Barça'' came out empty in silverware, manager Johan Cruyff – who insisted in his signing – was sacked and the player also left Camp Nou, joining CD Tenerife where he played three seasons, notably contributing with two goals in six games in the Canary Islands side's semifinal run in the UEFA Cup; in 1998–99, for the only time in his career, he failed to find the net and his team suffered top flight relegation. 32-year-old Kodro returned to the Basque region and joined Deportivo Alavés in the 1999–2000 season. He retired from football the following year after one year in Israel with Maccabi Tel Aviv FC. In 2006 Kodro started his coaching career, being assistant to José Mari Bakero at former team Real Sociedad.〔(Real Sociedad: Cesado el entrenador José Mari Bakero (Real Sociedad: Coach José Mari Bakero fired) ); El Futbolín 〕 In the 2008 summer he was appointed manager of the club's youth sides, and remained in the post for two years, when he was promoted to B team duties, with the club in Segunda División B.〔(Kodro se hace cargo del Sanse (Kodro appointed at Sanse) ); Mundo Deportivo, 6 June 2010 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meho Kodro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
