“From the very first day, Veljko Paunovic has shown that the interests of the national team come before anything else. His priority was not the contract or financial terms, but to immediately make himself available to the Football Association of Serbia and take charge of the team at such an important time. He emphasized that he wants to direct all his energy toward the upcoming matches against England and Latvia, determined to fight as long as there is even the slightest chance of success. We believe that his arrival will motivate the players and lift the team’s spirit, so that we can try to turn things in our favor. We will not give up as long as there is even the smallest fraction of a chance. The results of these two matches will in no way affect Veljko Paunovic’s future status. We will continue discussions about his long-term contract after these matches, regardless of their outcome,” said Radujko.

Serbia will play England away in London on November 13th , and then face Latvia in their final qualifying match in Leskovac on November 16th .

Veljko Paunovic is a coach who, exactly ten years ago, led Serbia’s youth team to victory at the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
