Kosič is the third-most capped player in the Slovenian PrvaLiga with 421 appearances[2] and had the most appearances for Olimpija (234), winning three Slovenian Cups and one Slovenian Supercup with the club. He also won the cup with Rudar Velenje in 1998.

International career

Kosič made his debut for Slovenia on 18 November 1992 away against Cyprus, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Zlatko Zahovič,[3] and earned a total of five caps until his final appearance in 1994.[4]

Managerial career

Between 2006 and 2017, Kosič managed ATUS Ferlach, Olimpija Ljubljana, Triglav Kranj, and the Slovenia under-17 national team.

In August 2017, he was appointed as manager of Celje.[5] In the 2019–20 season, Celje won their first-ever Slovenian championship.[6][7] For this achievement, Kosič received the Slovenian Manager of the Year award, presented by the Slovenian newspaper EkipaSN.[8] However, he left the club on 21 December 2020 after Celje finished the first part of the 2020–21 season in seventh place.[9]
