Kosič made his debut for Slovenia on 18 November 1992 away against Cyprus, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Zlatko Zahovič,[3] and earned a total of five caps until his final appearance in 1994.[4]

Managerial career

Between 2006 and 2017, Kosič managed ATUS Ferlach, Olimpija Ljubljana, Triglav Kranj, and the Slovenia under-17 national team.
