Sheffield United’s Anel Ahmedhodzic has cut ties with his dad, Mirsad, after he bizarrely accused the defender’s wife of using “black magic” against him.
The 25-year-old used to represent Bosnia, but hung up his international boots citing injury woes, less-than-ideal medical care, and online taunts from supporters. Yet dear old dad had his own take, passing it off as his son being “under the influence of his wife and mother-in-law”.

He even chucked out the bombshell that he “did not consider” Ahmedhodzic his sprog anymore. This spurred the footballer into a comeback, slamming his father for a string of “manipulation, lies, scams and almost daily bullying” in an explosive tell-all.
According to the TV channel N1 who got their hands on his message, Ahmedhodzic was brutally frank. He said: “The only thing anyone wants from their father as a son is support and pride. Unfortunately, I got very little of that. What I got most of the time was manipulation, lies, scams, and almost daily bullying.”

He blasted: “This is the type of man who shows his ‘power’ over women, but has never had the guts to stand up to another man. I have a very good relationship with my mother and I take care of her financially so to say I don’t care about my ‘parents’ is a straight-up lie, I just don’t care about him,” reports the Mirror.
The defender said: “He is not a man, he goes after people I care about every time there is something wrong. I’m not even gonna go into the stuff he did when I was younger but if you believe his interview, maybe we should interview my mother too about what she has to say about him as a person and father?
“There are TERRIBLE things he has done to people I care about which I will not mention here. There are so MANY reasons why I broke off contact with him.”
Ahmedhodzic clarified his decision to retire from international football, stating: “The whole country has come after me, my wife and son” with “extremely bad insults and abuse”.

He also addressed his father’s claims about his desire to leave Sheffield United, saying they are “completely false”. Ahmedhodzic remarked: “It is a city and club that has given me the best memories in my life including the birth of my son.
“I have a very strong faith with Allah and it can never be taken from me. I will do everything I can to protect my family and people I care about from evil people like him. And to say my wife has done black magic on me is very insulting to me and my wife especially, she has been amazing.
“It is very hard to find a woman who will take care of you as good as she does and I’m very happy my son has such an incredible mother. And then to say she doesn’t let me go to international? That is very funny and just shows what level of intelligence this liar has.”
Ahmedhodzic’s dad had commented: “No one is a better friend to my son than his parents, but when he listens to the wrong people, what happens to him happens. That’s not my son anymore, I don’t consider him my son anymore. I wish him well. The best.
“I fought the whole war, I was wounded three times. I wanted my son to play for the country that I created with my own blood, but he was turned away by bad people who think only of self-interest.”
