Ferhan Hasani (Macedonian: Ферхан Хасани) nicknamed "Buba", is a Macedonian professional footballer.

He made his full international debut on 22 December 2010 against China in a friendly game.[1]

Personal

Childhood

Hasani was born in Tetovo, Macedonia and is of Albanian heritage. As a child, Hasani grew up with the nickname Buba. Buba in Albanian and in Macedonian is a small fly insect and he was given this name because he was smaller and faster than his peers.[2] Hasani joined FK Shkëndija at the age of 8.[2]

Club career

Shkëndija

When Shkëndija were in the Macedonian Second League, Hasani got his chance to play for Shkëndija's senior squad when he was just 17 years old. After two seasons, Shkëndija were promoted in Macedonian First League and Hasani had a great season, scoring 13 goals in 27 matches. Being the best goal scorer in the team during the 2010–11 season, made him a crucial member of Shkëndija that won the title that season.[2] He became a fan favourite by scoring a goal from a free kick against Shkëndija rivals FK Vardar.[2] in the final game of the season during the half time of the game against Metalurg, Hasani was presented as the best player of the season.[2]

There was some speculation that Croatian club Hajduk Split, as well as German club VfL Wolfsburg,[3] were interested in signing the striker. After interest from FC Groningen and Gent fell through, Hasani remained at Shkendija for the first half of the new season.

The season started well until he was plagued with injury for three weeks and resumed playing towards the end of the year. Hasani contributed five goals and eight assists for his club that season before leaving in the winter break.[4]

Wolfsburg

On 16 December 2011, Hasani agreed to a three-year deal with Wolfsburg and joined the German club immediately after the New Year.[4][5][6] Wolfsburg manager, Felix Magath, stated that new acquisitions Hasani and Slobodan Medojević were "two young players who have played exceptionally well in their respective leagues and are talents from whose we expect to be great players".[7]

On 30 September 2012, Hasani made his debut for Wolfsburg, coming on in the 45th minute against Mainz 05.

During the 2012–13 season's winter transfer period, Hasani received interest from Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb. It was reported that Wolfsburg and Dinamo have agreed terms and all that remains is a medical test on 25 January.[8][9] Dinamo coach Kruno Jurčić stated "He is a winger who can play on both sides and he's the kind of player we need. I've seen him when I was working for Croatian national team and was scouting Macedonia so when an opportunity came to sign him we didn't hesitate".[9] But the transfer failed.

With the Wolfsburg squad being reduced and not receiving much match time, Hasani planned to leave in the summer, with possible interests from Dynamo Dresden and Brøndby.[10]

Brøndby IF

Season 2013–14

On 2 September 2013, Hasani decided to join Brøndby IF. According to Danish media the transfer fee was €260K. He signed a two-year contract and was presented the jersey number 22.[11] Hasani debuted on 15 September 2013 and scored his first goal after only two minutes of play, as he became matchwinner with a goal in the 65th minute against Odense Boldklub.[12] On 1 December 2013, Hasani scored from a freekick 25 metres out from the goal against city rivals F.C. København.[13]

After round 23 in the Superliga, Ferhan sustained a knee injury, keeping him out of the next three games. On the 18th of April, he was cleared to return for the game against SønderjyskE. Ferhan came off the bench in the 70th minute, and put the game away when he score the third goal for Brøndby in the 88th minute. Hasani's goal came on a right footed shot to the right corner past the diving keeper of SønderjyskE.[14]

Season 2014–15

After a successful pre-season, in which he scored against Liverpool,[15] Hasani succumbed to injury missing out on the beginning of the season.

On December 7, Hasani returned and Brøndby defeated Silkeborg IF 1–0. Hasani scored the goal on what was the 50th anniversary of Brøndby.[16] Ferhan had a successful season with Brøndby reaching third in the Superliga.

Return to Shkëndija

After completing his two-year contract at Brøndby, Hasani's agent and Brøndby could not agree on a new deal resulting in Hasani leaving during the summer transfer period. A fan favourite, Brøndby fans had been writing for weeks for Hasani to extend his contract.[17] Ferhan was given flowers by Brøndby when they hosted Esbjerg in the final round of the Danish season.[17]

Hasani agreed to 3-year deal with Shkëndija. Hasani joined the squad heading into the Europa League fixtures against Aberdeen.

International career

Hasani made his full international debut on 22 December 2010 against China in a friendly match.[18] At the end of the football season, Hasani was called up to the Macedonian squad for the upcoming fixture with Ireland for the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifiers. He came on in the tenth minute. Despite Macedonia losing 0–2 to Ireland, Hasani played well, dribbling fast up the flanks.[19] With Macedonia effectively out of the qualifications of the UEFA Euro 2012, Hasani was called to play for the Under-21's team against Serbia for the UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship qualifiers. Hasani was crucial as he scored for Macedonia, resulting in a 1–1 draw.[20]
