Veljko Paunović Keeps Liga MX Ties in Case Serbia Stumbles
Serbian coach Veljko Paunović is turning his attention to the 2030 World Cup qualification after Serbia missed the 2026 tournament. He maintains contacts with Liga MX clubs, leveraging his previous experience in Mexico.
In a friendly on June 4, Serbia were beaten 5‑1 by Mexico, with two own‑goals highlighting defensive frailties. Paunović fielded a U‑21 side to test tactical options.
Prior to kickoff, Mexican internationals Roberto Alvarado and Raúl Rangel embraced the Serbian staff in a brief meeting.
