Senad Lulić (born 18 January 1986) is a Bosnian footballer. He plays for Lazio in the Serie A.

Lulić was born in Mostar, but he spent most of his childhood in Jablanica.

He moved in his childhood to Switzerland due to the Bosnian War, and started his career at Chur 97. Then he moved to Bellinzona, where he helped the club gain promotion to the Swiss Super League in his last season in Bellinzona. In July 2008 he joined Grasshopper, playing two seasons for GCZ before joining Bern-based club Young Boys. After a successful lone season at YB, where Lulić scored a total of 9 goals in 40 matches between the Super League, the Swiss Cup and European competitions, he was transferred to Serie A side Lazio.

International career

Lulić received his debut for Bosnia and Herzegovina in a match against Azerbaijan which all of the established players decided to boycott following the dismissal of newly appointed coach Meho Kodro by the already unpopular Bosnian Football Federation. He had to wait for more than two years, until August 2010, to receive his next call-up. After several good performances for his club side, especially in the Champions League qualification, Safet Sušić called him up to the matches against Luxembourg and France. He played in both matches as a left back. On 15 November 2011, Lulić was dismissed for a second yellow card in the 2nd leg of the Euro 2012 playoff against Portugal.

Lazio

On 16 June 2011 it was confirmed that Lulić had signed a five-year contract with Lazio with the transfer fee being about 3 million euros. He made his first appearance for the club on 9 September 2011 against A.C. Milan and went on to score his first goal for the Roman side at Bologna on 23 October 2011. He scored his second goal in a match against Cagliari. His third goal came in a 2-2 home draw against Udinese on 18 December 2011.
