Match background • Armenia's record in three matches against Serbia is W0 D1 L2 (W0 D1 L1 at home, W0 D0 L1 in Serbia). • The sides' only competitive meetings to date came in UEFA EURO 2008 qualifying. Javier Clemente's Serbia beat Ian Porterfield's Armenia 3-0 in Belgrade on 11 October 2006, Dejan Stanković (53p), Danko Lazović (61) and Nikola Žigić (90+2) on target, the latter after Rafael Nazaryan was sent off for a second bookable offence (76). With Vardan Minasyan in charge, Armenia drew the return fixture 0-0 in Yerevan on 13 October 2007. • More recently, Zdravko Kuzmanović (15) and Branislav Ivanović (30) scored aganst Minasyan's Armenia in a 2-0 friendly win in Limassol, Cyprus, for Serbia, led by caretaker coach Radovan Ćurčić on 28 February 2012. • Armenian and Serbian club sides have met in four UEFA club competition matches, with the Serbian sides having the better of them – W2 D2 L0 (W1 D1 L0 at home, W1 D1 L0 in Armenia). Most recently, FK Partizan eliminated FC Shirak on away goals in the 2013/14 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round after two draws – 1-1 in Gyumri, 0-0 in Belgrade. • In 14 games between Armenian and Serbian sides – including club games, youth games, and senior national team matches – a Armenian side has yet to record a victory (D4 L10). 3 Armenia - Serbia Saturday 11 October 2014 - 18.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Republican Stadium after Vazgen Sargsyan, Yerevan Squad list Armenia Current season Overall Qual.

He stayed in the post for seven seasons, winning four lower-league titles, before moving to Young Boys. • His stay in Berne proved nowhere near as lengthy or successful, however, Challandes departing in 1995 with the club finishing bottom of the 12-team Swiss top flight after collecting just 17 points all season. A subsequent spell at Servette proved short-lived, and there followed a lengthy spell out of the limelight. • The Le Locle native took over the Switzerland Under-21 side in 2001. The highlight of his six years in charge came in 2002, when a team including Alexander Frei, Ludovic Magnin and Daniel Gygax reached the UEFA European Under-21 Championship semi-finals on home soil. • The lure of club football proved too strong for Challandes, however, and in 2007 he took charge of Zürich, leading them to the UEFA Cup round of 32 in his first season. The club's third league title in four years, and a new contract from Challandes until 2012, followed in 2009, the Swiss side securing UEFA Champions League group stage football for the first time at the start of 2009/10. • After leaving FCZ in 2010, Challandes took charge of Sion, Neuchâtel Xamax and Thun, committing to his first job outside Switzerland in February 2014, at the age of 62, when he was announced as the new coach of Armenia, signing a two-year contract. Dick Advocaat Date of birth: 27 September 1947 Nationality: Dutch Playing career: ADO Den Haag (twice), Roda JC, VVV Venlo, Chicago Sting, Sparta Rotterdam, K. Berchem Sport, FC Utrecht Coaching career: DSVP, HFC Haarlem, FC Dordrecht, Netherlands (twice), PSV Eindhoven, Rangers FC, VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach, United Arab Emirates, South Korea, FC Zenit St Petersburg, AZ Alkmaar (twice), Belgium, Russia, Serbia • A combative midfielder, Advocaat's playing career lasted 18 years and included three seasons in the North American Soccer League with Chicago Sting.
