Arriving at Feyenoord with high expectations, Ahmedhodzic quickly took his place as an indisputable starter under the orders of Robin van Persie. However, his season was seriously disrupted by injuries, forcing him to be absent in particular after the reception of Ajax during the Klassieker on March 22. This prolonged absence kept him away from the field, and he did not play again with Feyenoord thereafter.
The change of coach did not help his situation. With the arrival of Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Ahmedhodzic was no longer considered a key element in the center of defense. The new coach preferred to field other players such as Tsuyoshi Watanabe, Jeremiah St. Juste and Thijs Kraaijeveld during the preparation for the season.

After 36 appearances for Feyenoord, the 25-year-old will look to revive his career at Burnley, who were recently relegated from the Premier League. The English club is banking on its experience acquired in the Championship with Sheffield United to strengthen its defense and aim for an immediate rise to the elite of English football.
