June 2010. Maccabi Tel Aviv announced one of their most expensive and prestigious signings in club history. The young Bosnian National Team midfielder who grew up in the Netherlands and played for the Dutch Youth National Teams, Haris Medunjanin signed with the Yellow-and-Blue.

Medunjanin arrived at Kiryat Shalom after his La Liga side Real Valladolid were relegated to the second division. His first season with Maccabi was a success as the midfielder scored 13 goal under the tutelage of Yossi Mizrachi and Moti Ivanir. He even found the back of the goal in his Yellow-and-Blue debut, a 2:0 win against FK Mogren in a Europa League qualifying match. Medunjanin finished his first year making 43 appearances in all competitions while scoring 13 goals, (5 in Europe) and handed out 4 assists.

The 2011/12 season under coach Moti Ivanir looked to be starting off just as the prior season had as Medunjanin scored the lone Maccabi goal in a 2:1 defeat to Panathinaikos helping the club reach the group stages of the Europa League for the first time in their history. That same week, the Bosnian International scored his second goal in a 4:0 victory over SC Ashdod.

Medunjanin played in 23 matches during the course of the season, scoring two goals and adding two assists. When Sports Director Jordi Cruyff and new Head Coach Oscar Garcia arrived at Maccabi they decided to loan the midfielder to Turkish outfit Gaziantepspor with an option to buy him at the end of the season.

Brazil 2014 and signing with Deportivo La Coruna

After a successful first year in the Turkish League, his new club which finished in 10th place, decided to purchase his contact from Maccabi after appearing in 30 games and scoring 4 goals. The 2013/14 campaign was not as good as he had wanted it to go as he played in 32 matches, scoring only twice as the team ended the season in 15th position.

Medunjanin was included in the Bosnia and Herzegovina squad that headed to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and played in two matches against Nigeria and Argentina. This opportunity gave him the chance to find his way back to one of Europe’s top leagues, La Liga where he signed with Deportivo La Coruna.

This past Bosnian National Team campaign saw Medunjanin face Israel in the same 2016 Euro qualifying group. They began the tournament very poorly however, they were able to pick up the pace and finish in third place ahead of Israel. They were eventually eliminated by Ireland in a two-leg playoff for a ticket to the competition.

Medunjanin didn’t receive many minutes for his Spanish side and the coach Victor Sanchez decided to release the midfielder, allowing Maccabi to bring him back to Kiryat Shalom.
