Even better was to come in France, as Wales upset the odds by reaching the semi-finals, their best-ever performance in a major finals. Slavoljub Muslin Date of birth: 15 June 1953 Nationality: Serbian Playing career: OFK Beograd, FK BASK, FK Rad, FK Crvena zvezda, LOSC Lille, Stade Brestois 29, SM Caen Coaching career: Stade Brestois 29, Pau FC, FC Girondins de Bordeaux, RC Lens, Le Mans FC, Wydad Casablanca, FK Crvena zvezda (twice), PFC Levski Sofia, FC Metalurh Donetsk, KSC Lokeren OV (twice), FC Lokomotiv Moskva, FC Khimki, FC Dinamo Minsk, Anorthosis Famagusta FC, FC Krasnodar, FC Amkar Perm, R. Standard de Liège, Serbia • Born and raised in Belgrade, Muslin played for a number of smaller clubs in the city before arriving at Crvena zvezda in 1975; was a defensive stalwart for 'Red Star' for six years, winning three Yugoslavian titles and reaching the 1978/79 UEFA Cup final, where his side lost to Borussia Mönchengladbach. • Spent the latter years of his playing career in France, and started out as a coach there; helped to nurture the careers of David Ginola (Brest), Zinédine Zidane, Bixente Lizarazu and Christophe Dugarry (all Bordeaux). • Won three domestic titles and a national cup in two spells as Crvena zvezda boss in the early 2000s; also coached clubs in Morocco, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia, Belgium, Belarus and Cyprus. • Hired as Serbia coach in May 2016 to replace Radovan Ćurčić; agreed contract for the duration of 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying, with the option of an extension if he takes his side to the finals. 5 Wales - Serbia Saturday 12 November 2016 - 20.45CET (19.45 local time) Match press kit Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff Match officials Referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco (ESP) Assistant referees Roberto del Palomar (ESP) , Raúl Cabanero (ESP) Fourth official Carlos Gómez (ESP) FIFA Match Commissioner Karl Espen Eriksen (NOR) Referee observer Luciano Luci (ITA) Referee Name Date of birth UEFA matches Alberto Undiano Mallenco 08/10/1973 9 83 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 23/05/2004 U19 2QR Belgium Serbia 1-0 Knokke-Heist 18/07/2005 U19 GS-FT Serbia Germany 4-2 Newry 23/08/2012 UEL PO FK Crvena zvezda FC Girondins de Bordeaux 0-0 Belgrade 10/10/2015 EURO QR Bosnia and Herzegovina Wales 2-0 Zenica 6 Wales - Serbia Saturday 12 November 2016 - 20.45CET (19.45 local time) Match press kit Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff Competition facts The Week of Football concept enables fans around the world to enjoy the very best action from the European Qualifiers – which will determine UEFA's representatives at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
