The appointment of a new head coach of the Serbian national team is expected after October 17, when the meeting of the Executive Board of the Serbian Football Union will be held, Topsport reported.
Our neighbors failed in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, and finding a successor to the resigned Dragan Stojkovic will probably take time, reports the local newspaper "Sportski zhurnal".
Among the candidates for the position are former Levski coach Slavisa Jokanovic, Veljko Paunovic, considered one of the leading contenders, as well as Vladan Milojevic and Dejan Stankovic.
Stojkovic resigned after the 0-1 home loss to Albania in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The next match for the Serbian national team is a trip to Andorra on Tuesday, and in November they will have a trip to England and a home game against Latvia. Serbia is currently third in Group K with 7 points, the leader is England with 15 points, and second-placed Albania has 11 points, but a game more.
