AFC Asian Cup
Talajic, who took charge as head coach in February 2024, guided Bahrain to the Gulf Cup title later that year but saw his side lose all their group stage matches in Jeddah.
The Croatian, who previously served as BFA technical director after coaching Al Khaldiya, has extensive experience in Asian football and famously led Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad to the AFC Champions League™ title in 2004.
The BFA thanked Talajic and his technical staff for their efforts and said it would now review candidates before appointing a replacement ahead of the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027™.
Bahrain have been drawn in Group B alongside Uzbekistan, DPR Korea and Jordan.
