SHEFFIELD UNITED star Anel Ahmedhodzic has ended his international career with Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The 25-year-old defender has chosen to step away from the national team after a number disputes.
Ahmedhodzic has often been a challenging player for the coaches.
And according to coach Sergej Barbarez, the defender did not even contact the national team director, Emir Spahic about his decision.
He then went on to confirm that Ahmedhodzic had ended his international career at just 25.
In an interview with N1, the Sheffield United player announced his decision, citing numerous insults on social media as a reason for stepping away.

He stated there was “no longer any reason for him to come and play” and wished his former team-mates and the new coaching staff all the best.
The Blades ace made his international debut on October 8, 2020, under Dusan Bajevic.
One notable Ahmedhodzic incident occurred a year ago when the Football Federation suspended him.
This was due to his refusal to join the national team camp led by Meha Kodro for the European Championship qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Iceland.

The star arrived at Bramall Lane in 2022 from Swedish side Malmo and has made 75 appearances for the Blades.

Things could get crowded on the touchline, with the number of substitutes permitted to warm-up boosted from three players per team to FIVE.
There’s also a change to how added time is calculated when a team scores a goal, an update to the ‘multiball’ system and the introduction of semi-automated offsides – but not straight away.
