The Balkan side missed out on Euro 2020 qualification after a penalty shootout defeat to Scotland.

The Serbian FA (FSS) is now scouting candidates to replace coach Ljubisa Tumbakovic at the helm.

FSS president, Slavisa Kokeza, wants a big-name foreign manager to come in and point the young side in the right direction and approached an intermediary of Wenger’s to offer him the job.
