Branimir Bajić (Cyrillic: Бранимир Бајић; born 19 October 1979) is a Bosnian retired footballer who played as a defender.

Club career

After playing for Radnik Bijeljina, Bajić was transferred to Partizan in July 2000.[1] He scored a 90th-minute goal to give his team a 1–0 win over Rapid Wien in the first leg of the 2001–02 UEFA Cup first round.[2] In May 2004, Bajić extended his contract with Partizan for another four years.[3] He subsequently won his third championship with the club in the 2004–05 season. In February 2006, Bajić was loaned for six months to Emirati club Al Wahda with an option for a permanent deal.[4] He eventually returned to Partizan and played regularly for the side in the 2006–07 season.

In June 2007, Bajić moved to Germany and signed with TuS Koblenz, on a three-year deal.[5] He spent the next two seasons at the club, before transferring to Denizlispor in July 2009. After one year in Turkey, Bajić returned to Germany and signed with MSV Duisburg.[6] On 9 May 2018, it was announced that he will leave Duisburg at the end of the 2017–18 season.[7] After the season, he announced his retirement.[8]

International career

Bajić represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at international level, earning a total of 21 caps between 2004 and 2008.

In September 2008, citing his dissatisfaction with the atmosphere in the national team following Ćiro Blažević's arrival at the helm of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in an interview for Sportski žurnal daily, Bajić announced his retirement from international football at the age of 28.[9]

Couple of days later in Dnevni avaz newspaper, Bajić denied giving an interview to Sportski žurnal and announcing his international retirement.[10]
