Club career

Born in the small mining town of Živinice, Pirić started playing football at local side Slaven. Former Slaven manager Vlatko Konjevod then lured him to Dinamo Zagreb and played 8 years for the club. Pirić then joined Sarajevo.[1] With Dinamo, he won two domestic cups and the 1966–67 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, beating Don Revie's Leeds United in the final. He played over 350 matches for Dinamo in all competitions.[2]

International career

Pirić made his debut for Yugoslavia in an April 1969 World Cup qualification match away against Spain and has earned a total of 6 caps, scoring 1 goal. His final international was a November 1970 friendly game against West Germany.[3]

Managerial career

At the time a youth team coach, Pirić was given a caretaker role of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team to take charge of a home friendly game against Azerbaijan in Zenica on 1 June 2008 after the sacking of Meho Kodro. Most players for this match were assembled from the Bosnian Premier League.[4]

Pirić worked as a technical director of the Bosnian national teams until his retirement in November 2017.[5]
