Club career

Born in Zenica, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, back then part of SFR Yugoslavia, Šabić started playing with hometown club Čelik Zenica having played with them in the 1990–91 Yugoslav First League season. Afterwards, he moved to Red Star Belgrade but with the start of the Yugoslav Wars he left the club along with Goran Jurić and Robert Prosinečki.

He spent the second half of the 2000–01 season in Bosnia playing with Željezničar and had also won the double with them.[1]

Šabić then returned to Croatia and was part of the championship winning squad of Zagreb in the season 2001–02. Afterwards, he played 3 seasons in China with Changchun Yatai, before returning to Bosnia to his former club Čelik where he finished his career in 2010.[2]

From 1994 to 1995, Šabić represented the Croatia national U21 team, making 6 appearances.

He then made his senior debut for Bosnia and Herzegovina in an April 1996 friendly match against Albania and has earned a total of 38 caps (2 unofficial), scoring 1 goal.[3] His final international was an August 2008 friendly match against Bulgaria.[4]

For a short period from January to February 2019, Šabić was in charge of China League Two club Shanxi Metropolis. On 8 September 2019, he became the new manager of First League of FBiH club TOŠK Tešanj.[11] In his first game as TOŠK manager, his team beat Metalleghe-BSI 2–1 at home in a league match.[12] Šabić left TOŠK on 23 December 2019, taking over the position of head coach of the Bosnia and Herzegovina U17 national team two days earlier, on 21 December.[13] He officially took over the position four days later, on 27 December, signing a contract with the Bosnian FA.[14]
