Meho Kodro

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.
