Besnik Hasi
Besnik Ilmi Hasi (Albanian pronunciation: [besˈnik ˈhasi]) (born 29 December 1971) is a Kosovo Albanian professional football coach and former player who is the head coach of Belgian First Division A club Anderlecht . During his playing career, he was known for his versatility as a midfielder and his strong leadership qualities on the field. Hasi spent most of his club career playing in Belgium, where he became a key figure at Anderlecht, one of the country’s most successful teams. He made 47 appearances for the Albania national team, before playing one friendly for the Kosovo national team before they applied for FIFA membership.
After retiring as a player, he transitioned into coaching, where he gained recognition for his tactical approach and ability to develop young players. Hasi has managed several clubs across different countries, including stints in Belgium, Poland, Greece, and Saudi Arabia. He was particularly successful during his tenure at Anderlecht, leading them to domestic league success and competing in European tournaments such as the Champions League and the Europa League.
Known for his strategic mindset and disciplined coaching style, Hasi continues to be involved in football management, frequently working with clubs aiming to establish themselves on the European stage.
Born in Gjakova, SFR Yugoslavia (present day Kosovo), he began playing with his hometown team Vëllaznimi at an early age before joining Liria playing back then in the Yugoslav Second League where he began playing as a senior. He played one game with Prishtina in the 1991–92 Yugoslav First League. He then played with NK Zagreb and FK Dinamo Pančevo still in Yugoslavia. In 1992, he returned to NK Zagreb, now playing in a newly formed Croatian First League and he also played with NK Samobor before moving to Belgium.
Hasi moved to Genk in mid-1994, then to 1860 Munich where he played only seven times during the 1997–98 season. He returned to Genk establishing himself in starting lineup, winning the Belgian Title in the 1998–99 season. During his time at Genk, his family were forced to flee Kosovo to Albania during the Kosovo War.
Hasi moved to Anderlecht in May 2000 and, despite only playing 16 matches in his first season due to injury problems, helped the club retain their league title. He played 30 games the following year, including five in the UEFA Champions League to add to his five of the previous season.
Groin and knee problems restricted Hasi to eleven league appearances and four UEFA Cup games in 2002–03, however, but he returned to fitness to help Anderlecht win back the Belgian crown the following season.
In the 2004–05 season, he suffered torn ligaments in his left knee and was out for three months, when he came back he was limited to just 14 starts as Anderlecht relinquished the title.
