原文:Serbia-Montenegro coach to quit after humiliating World Cup exit
BILLERBECK, Germany (AP) -- Serbia-Montenegro coach Ilija Petkovic will quit the national team after the World Cup.
"I will resign when we return home," Petkovic told The Associated Press on Saturday following his team's humiliating elimination from the tournament.
The announcement came after Serbia-Montenegro's 6-0 loss to Argentina on Friday that ranked as the worst in World Cup history for the national team.
Also quitting the team will be captain Savo Milosevic, defender Mladen Krstajic and midfielder Predrag Djordjevic, who announced their retirements from international play even before the World Cup began.
Serbia-Montenegro yielded only one goal in 10 qualifying matches, but conceded seven in its first two Group C matches against the Netherlands and Argentina. The Serbs play Ivory Coast on June 21 and still haven't scored at the tournament.
Friday's loss was the worst for the former Yugoslavia at the World Cup. There was a 6-1 semifinal defeat against Uruguay in the first edition in 1930.
The team last qualified for the World Cup in 1998 as Yugoslavia, and was knocked out in the second round. Serbia-Montenegro's appearance in Germany is the national team's 10th trip to the World Cup, but the first -- and last -- under that name. Montenegro voted for independence in May.
