Biography

Osim did not at any point regret the decision, and said at the time that “on the scale of human suffering, I cannot reconcile events at home with my position as national manager”. In any case, Yugoslavia were soon expelled from the finals due to their war-torn status, and their place was taken at the last moment by Denmark, who went on to win the tournament. Subsequently, Osim traveled the world as a manager, having particular success in Austria, where he won two league titles with Sturm Graz, and in Japan, where he eventually took charge of the national team.
In November 2007, while watching a league game, Osim collapsed with a stroke.
