Marca: Serbia coach Stojkovic announces his resignation, Paunovic is expected to take over

According to "Marca" reports, Serbian national team coach Stojkovic announced his resignation, and former Oviedo coach Paunovic is expected to take over.

After Serbia lost to Albania, head coach Stojkovic fulfilled his pre-match promise and publicly announced his resignation as the head coach of the national team. In the next game against Andorra, Mirkovic, who has been the coach of the U21 national team since July, will be in charge of leading the team.

Stojkovic said: "I have spoken with the Chairman and Secretary-General of the Football Association. A responsible person, and I think I am such a person, should submit my resignation and should not be rejected by the Serbian Football Association. I take responsibility for the loss to Albania and declare He is the only one responsible."

Paonovic, who was just fired by Real Oviedo, is considered the best candidate to replace Stojkovic. Paonovic led the Serbian U20 national team to win the World Cup in 2015 and enjoys a high reputation in the country. He is currently in free agency, which will help speed up the negotiation process.
