Mladen Krstajic

Bulgarian Football has fallen a long way since the peak of the national team that finished fourth in the 1994 World Cup powered by the goals of the outstanding Hristo Stoichkov, who finished the tournament as the golden boot winner with six strikes.

Swiss footballers Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri were fined 10,000 Swiss francs [8,600 euros] by FIFA on Monday for celebrating their goals against Serbia in the World Cup with a double-headed eagle gesture symbolising the Albanian flag, The Associated Press reported on Monday.

And the slogan is: "One Team, One Dream - Serbia!"

The Serbian team - nicknamed Orlovi ( "the Eagles") - is among 32 that will compete for the world's top football prize - see each squad's official slogan published at FIFA's website.

BELGRADE - The Executive Committee of the Football Association of Serbia (FSS) on Monday officially appointed Mladen Krstajic as head coach of the Serbia senior national team.

Krstajic will lead Serbia at the World Cup in Russia.
