He reached the 1989 UEFA Cup final with Stuttgart and won the same competition the following season with Sampdoria, whom he also helped to the 1992 UEFA Champions League showpiece. • Earned 31 caps for Yugoslavia (five goals) – including at the 1984 UEFA European Championship, the 1984 Olympic Games and the 1990 FIFA World Cup – and five for Slovenia (one goal). • Started his coaching career with Slovenia's U21s in 1996, two years after retiring as a player. After a brief stint in the Gorica dugout, took charge of the senior Slovenia side in 1998 and guided them to UEFA EURO 2000 – their first major tournament – and the 2002 World Cup. • Joined Olympiacos in 2002 but stayed for only three months and in February 2006 assumed the FYROM helm, where he remained for three years. Named United Arab Emirates coach in June 2009, a position he held for two years. • Katanec was reappointed by Slovenia in January 2013, signing a contract until the end of UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying, and stayed on despite the failure to reach France after a play-off defeat by Ukraine. Gareth Southgate Date of birth: 3 September 1970 Nationality: English Playing career: Crystal Palace FC, Aston Villa FC, Middlesbrough FC Coaching career: Middlesbrough FC, England Under-21s, England (caretaker) • Came through the ranks at Palace, initially as a midfielder, becoming captain and leading the club to promotion to the Premier League in 1993/94. • Moved on to Villa following relegation in 1995 and was converted into a centre-back, winning the League Cup in his first season and helping the team reach the 2000 FA Cup final. • Won 57 caps for England, although best known for missing a crucial penalty against Germany in the EURO '96 semi-final at Wembley; also appeared at the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA EURO 2000. • Left Villa for Middlesbrough in 2001 and became the first Boro captain to lift a trophy, skippering the side to victory against Sam Allardyce's Bolton Wanderers FC in the 2004 League Cup final; also helped Boro reach the UEFA Cup final in memorable fashion two years later. • Defeat by Sevilla FC in Eindhoven proved Southgate's last game as he moved into the Middlesbrough dug-out to succeed Steve McClaren following the latter's departure for England; kept them in the Premier League until 2009, when they were relegated with Southgate dismissed that October. Joined the Football Association in 2011, initially as head of elite development before taking over as Under-21 coach two years later; appointed caretaker manager of the national side in September 2016 following Allardyce's departure. 5 Slovenia - England Tuesday 11 October 2016 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Stadion Stožice, Ljubljana Match officials Referee Deniz Aytekin (GER) Assistant referees Guido Kleve (GER) , Thorsten Schiffner (GER) Fourth official Felix Zwayer (GER) FIFA Match Commissioner Martin Sturkenboom (NED) UEFA Referee observer Juan Antonio Fernandez Marin (ESP) Referee Name Date of birth UEFA matches Deniz Aytekin 21/07/1978 3 39 FIFA Wold Cup matches involving teams from the two countries involved in this match No such matches refereed Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 21/07/2011 UEL 2QR RNK Split NK Domžale 3-1 Dugopolje 15/09/2011 UEL GS Birmingham City FC SC Braga 1-3 Birmingham 21/09/2011 U19 QR Scotland Slovenia 1-2 Bistrica 12/10/2012 U21 PO England Serbia 1-0 Norwich 14/03/2013 UEL R16 Newcastle United FC FC Anji 1-0 Newcastle 25/02/2015 UCL R16 Arsenal FC AS Monaco FC 1-3 London 19/03/2015 UEL R16 FC Dynamo Kyiv Everton FC 5-2 Kyiv 18/08/2015 UCL PO Manchester United FC Club Brugge KV 3-1 Manchester 22/05/2016 FRIE.
