Mirsad Omerhodžić (born 22 May 1967 in Pula, SR Croatia, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Croatian football manager and former player.

Career

As a player, he started his career at FK Novi Pazar but it was while playing for another Second Yugoslav League club, FK Sloboda Užice, that he became noted for having scored 19 league goals in one season. He moved abroad, first to France to play with lower league Rodez AF, and then to Portugal. His first season he played with Portuguese Liga club G.D. Chaves, but after a disappointing season he moved to Torreense playing in Liga de Honra, second tier. He played his most successful seasons in Portugal between 1994 and 1996, scoring 38 goals (19 each season) and earning his club, Rio Ave F.C., a promotion to the top league. Omer, as Mirsad was known while in Portugal, next moved to S.C. Beira-Mar. During the season and a half he spend in Aveiro, he never overcome the disappointment of not returning to the top league, and after some poor displays he moved to Croatia to play with First League club NK Mladost 127. Soon after, he retired from competition and begin his coaching career.
