About Samir Hazbic: The best way to explain Samir is that he has forgotten more about the game of soccer than most will ever know.  He has been playing soccer for over 30 years, playing at the top levels in Europe for over 10 years.  He was awarded a UEFA B license after completion of professional playing career and then went on to train the Bosnian National Team.   Samir is a highly technical coach and can analyze and correct problems with even the most advanced players.   

Welcome - "Welcome to the Rangers Academy.  I would like to personally thank you for being a part of this club and let you know that I am fully devoted to making you the best soccer player and individual that I can.  My background in playing professionally with the top players in the world gives me a unique perspective and advantage in providing you with skills that can make you extremely successful.  Becoming a great soccer player does not just involve learning the skills.  It involves eating properly, exercising daily and developing habits that will give you an advantage over all other players.  I am excited to teach you how I became an elite athlete and how you too can accomplish the goal of playing at the top levels."
