International career

Begović received five call-ups to the FR Yugoslavia under-21 side under coach Nikola Rakojević during the 2002 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification rounds from 2000 to 2001.

After the sudden departure of London City manager Stanislav Zvezdić, the coaching responsibilities were given to Begović in a player/coach role. He took the team from the bottom of the standings and transformed them into a playoff contender. Despite the change in performance, London still missed the final playoff berth by five points.
