" Atm its just speculation, a Football Agent said we are going to appoint a Swiss/Bosnian Manager instead of his client."

The reason Kalezic was sacked by Roda JC a week after securing survival in their first season back in the Eredivisie in May last year, was for criticizing the club's technical director in the media after the last game of the season:

He'll no doubt be happier at the Nix with no technical director interfering.
Also, as a Bosnian immigrant to the Netherlands, the situation for immigrants has turned nasty in recent years with the rise of the right and Gert Wilders, attacks on Muslims, job discrimination etc.
He might be looking for a better living situation for him and his family.
Kalezic also has a relationship with Melbourne-based player agent Dragan Jevtic who helped Kalezic sign three Aussies for Roda JC in 2015:

From the editor of Roda JC Live:

He has close ties with Han Berger, who worked for the Australian FA as well if I'm correct. Advised my club Roda JC on these transfers.

What is Kalezic like as a manager? A-League seems to favor teams that set up to defend & counter quickly, mostly playing 4-5-1
Sem Caelen@SemCaelen May 8
Well, that perfectly sums up Kalezic' style. Likes to play 'realistically', in other words disciplined, well-organised defensive
That's what he did at Roda, scored very little goals when he managed our club. As a person, he is very authoritarian if you know what I mean
Managed to prevent us from relegation. Was still fired after the last match because of attitude and an ongoing conflict with sports director
That's a crucial element for Kalezic. He wants full and single responsibility in that field. Btw, the conflict here was not only his fault.
