Elvir Rahimić (born 4 April 1976) is a Bosnian footballer who plays for Russian Premier League club CSKA Moscow.

Career

Rahimić started his career at local club Slaven Živinice. He was soon signed by NK Bosna for the FSBiH First League. Before the start of a unified league of FSBIH and Croat League, Rahimić moved to Slovenia for Interblock Ljubljana, then Austrian side SK Vorwärts Steyr before he moved to Russia.

The greatest accomplishment for Rahimić has been winning the 2005 UEFA Cup by beating Sporting Lisbon in the final. In Russia he is often referred as Iron Man, because of his incredible stability throughout the season. In all his years in PFC CSKA Moscow he missed just over 10 games, mostly because of collected yellow cards, playing over 50 games every year.

Rahimić is one of the most decorated Bosnian players, having won 17 trophies with CSKA Moscow during his 12-year sting with the club.^[2]

International career

Rahimić made his debut for Bosnia and Herzegovina on 2 June 2007 in a win against Turkey, the second match Fuad Muzurović as coach. Including his debut match, he played six at UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying. He also played at 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA) where Bosnia reached play-off stage of the competition, as well as UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying.
