Josip Colina

Colina started his youth football with Nordstern Basel but moved at an early age to the youth department of FC Basel. In summer 1998 he advanced to their reserve team (U-21) and, toward the end of their 1998–99 FC Basel season, he was used by first team head coach Marco Schällibaum as substitute. Colina's debut came on 30 May 1999, as he came on in the 73rd minute in the away game as Basel played a 1–1 draw with Xamax. The following season Colina played solely for the FCB reserve team and was loaned out to FC Wangen bei Olten who had just achieved promotion to the Nationalliga B after being 1st League Group to winners and winning the championship play-offs at the end of the previous season. Colina became regular starter for Wangen b. Olten. However, the team could not avoid immediate relegation. After his one-year loan, Colina returned to his club of origin, but he played again solely for the reserve team. Thus, after three months, the club decided to loan him out again, this time to local team Concordia Basel. They had achieved promotion to the Nationalliga B in the Previous season, as the 1st league champions, and they were looking for players to strengthen their squad. Up until the winter break Colina had four league appearances for Concordia, scoring one goal. On 6 December 2001 it was announced that Colina had signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Varese Calcio, who at that time played in the Serie C1, the third highest tier in the Italian football league…

Since May 2014 Colina works as Senior financial controller for IWB (Industrielle Werke Basel). Since January 2014 he works as a scout for FC Basel.
