career
With the A-Juniors of FC Schalke 04 , the technically outstanding player was twice in the finals of the German A-Juniors football championship in 1980 and 1981 . Both finals were lost and Jusufi joined Bayer Uerdingen for the 1981/82 round in the 2nd Bundesliga . Under coach Werner Biskup , the talent made his debut in the second league on the third day of the round, in the away game against SV Waldhof Mannheim. At the end of the round, he had 31 league appearances. In his second year in senior football, 1982/83, he and his teammates made it to the Bundesliga with the team from the Grotenburg Stadium . In the 2nd league he reached 3rd place under the new coach Hans-Dieterippenhauer and was able to play the two relegation games against Schalke 04 with his teammates on June 15 and 19, 1983. Uerdingen won the home game 3-1 and in Schalke the 1-1 draw was enough for promotion to the Bundesliga. In both games, Jusufi appeared in midfield.
The start in the Bundesliga was successful on August 13, 1983 with a 4-2 away win at 1. FC Nürnberg. Coach Timo Konietzka led the team around top performers Friedhelm Funkel (33-15) to 10th place and Jusufi had played 25 league games and scored two goals. Jusufi accepted an offer from 1. FC Saarbrücken in the 2nd Bundesliga for the 1984/85 round and moved to Saarland. Under coach Uwe Klimaschefski , the team from the Ludwigsparkstadion took 3rd place and was able to play against Arminia Bielefeld in two relegation games. The newcomer from Uerdingen had played 33 games in the league and scored eight goals alongside fellow players Michael Blättel , Wolfgang Seel and Ernst Traser . The home game on June 13, 1985, Saarbrücken won 2-0 against Bielefeld and in the second leg Jusufi was responsible for the equalizer in the 78th minute to make it 1-1. This was the second time he had prevailed in the relegation and achieved promotion to the Bundesliga. On the first Bundesliga matchday, August 10, 1985, he and his teammates achieved a 1-1 draw in the home game against Borussia Dortmund. At the end of the round he had scored five goals in 30 games, but Saarbrücken was relegated to the 2nd division as 17th in the table. Jusufi signed a new contract with Hamburger SV for the 1986/87 round and thus remained in the Bundesliga.
In the last round of coach Ernst Happel at HSV, 1986/87 , the man from Saarbrücken's relegated team made 31 league appearances and scored eight goals. The Hanseatic League surprisingly reached the runner-up. But Jusufi experienced his greatest success in the competition for the DFB-Pokal by triumphing in the final on June 20, 1987 in Berlin against the Stuttgarter Kickers. HSV won the quarter-finals of the 1987/88 cup competition on March 9, 1988 at home with 2-1 against FC Bayern Munich, but lost 2-0 in the semifinals in April at VfL Bochum. In the 1989/90 season Jusufi was active with Hamburger SV in the UEFA Cup against the competition from Örgryte Gothenburg, Real Saragossa, FC Porto and Juventus Turin . For HSV, he played 112 games in the Bundesliga from 1986 to 1991, scoring 12 goals. There are also 14 games (2 goals) in the DFB Cup and seven appearances in the UEFA Cup.
Overall, Sascha Jusufi is in the 2nd Bundesliga with 82 games and eight goals - for Uerdingen and 1. FC Saarbrücken - and in the 1st Bundesliga with 167 games and 19 goals. In the summer of 1991 he moved to FC Schalke 04, but was unable to play a competitive game for the "Royal Blues" due to injury. After his football career, he worked in the media sector.
