A story about the career of Vahid Halilhodžić, one of the most popular football players and coaches in former Yugoslavia. He was the manager of many national teams, including Japan, Ivory Coast, Algeria… His career was full of ups and downs, from being a football legend of former Yugoslavia to suffering a gunshot wound in Mostar during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina; from being a favourite of the PSG to going through disappointments and getting the honorary title of knighthood; from his success in the African Continent to his split with the Japanese Football Association. He grew up in the City of Mostar, known by the gorgeous Mostar Bridge, which was demolished during the Bosnian war.
