The Dragons then secured a spot in the World Cup in Brazil, but for Jahić, it left a wound because he did not travel with his teammates to South America. He revealed how he contacted coach Safet Sušić and discussed the possibility of skipping the match against Mexico because he was out of the training process. The popular Pape did not agree with that, called him up for that match where he made a mistake leading to a goal, and after that never called him to the national team again, which remained a bitter wound for the versatile footballer. "It's a bit awkward to talk about it. I have great respect for that man, but it left a scar. I had been playing regularly in all matches up until then. I remember it was a friendly match in Mexico, and I was playing for Grasshoppers. Since the Swiss championship ends almost two months earlier, I called Sušić and talked to him about the possibility of not playing that match because I would be out of the training process, I wouldn't be in form, and I wouldn't be able to meet the demands," Jahić told Mozzart Sport and continued: "Pape tells me: 'Don't worry, train as much as you can and come.' And I really wasn't as prepared as I should have been. I trained alone, I was physically weakened, and it showed on the field. I played the match like that. I made a mistake for the second goal, and from then on, he never called me again. I think it could have been different because I explained the situation to him in advance. He didn't even give me reasons, whether it was because of that match or if it was just some reason to remove me. A lot of time has passed, I don't want to talk about ugly things, but not going to the World Cup remained a bitter wound for me," he added. Jahić started his career at Strasbourg and also played for Sochaux, Željezničar, Las Palmas, Mérida, Aris, AEK, APOEL, Karabükspor, St. Johnstone, Grasshopper, and Levadiakos. He played 23 matches for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team and scored one goal.
