Coach Dragan Stojkovic has offered his resignation to the Serbian Football Federation. He will not travel with the team to Andorra for the next challenge. The 0-1 loss to Albania has left its mark on Serbia.

This is not the first time that Sylvinho's Albania has fired coaches after victories, as it has done so with Poland and the Czech Republic.

" Do we have better players? I don't know. This selection of players was my choice. I tried to solve this game in our favor. Either I made a mistake in the selection, or I was just wrong, but that's how it happened. When I leave, I will leave with pride. It has been a privilege to be the coach of my country. Since I took charge, someone will analyze whether it was worth it or not, if there were good things, I think so, but it shouldn't have happened that we lost this game. Not for me, but it just shouldn't have happened.

The situation is special because tomorrow we travel to Andorra. I am not traveling, it is pointless to go with the team. I told them this, they listened to me. I told them that I will most likely not go to Andorra and that the match will most likely be refereed by my assistant, Goran Dorovic.

"I have already spoken with the President and Secretary General of the Federation and as a responsible person, I have offered my resignation. I did not expect this loss, especially against a team that is our main rival for second place. I take absolute responsibility and I am the only one to blame. Don't worry about that. I am sorry that we lost, but that is sport and life. There will be time to talk about other things, but as a responsible person, I have offered my resignation to the two main leaders of the Federation," Stojkovic said at a press conference.
