Controversial coach for Arnautovic and Cham?
Dejan Stankovic has lost his job as head coach at Red Star Belgrade. An eccentric could now be on the cards as the new coach for the Austrian duo.
Things are in turmoil at Red Star Belgrade.
Following the defeat in Champions League qualification against Hapoel Beer Sheva (all info >>>), head coach Dejan Stankovic has since announced his resignation.
Previously, the former Inter star had been shown a red card shortly after halftime due to vehement complaints. Stankovic is said to have spat in the direction of referee Glenn Nyberg. To the jeers of his own fans, the 47-year-old provocatively gesticulating, left the field.

Controversial coach as successor?
His successor is reportedly already determined.
According to consistent media reports, Albert Riera is, of all people, set to become the new head coach of Marko Arnautovic and Muhammed Cham's club.
The Spaniard (44), who had an inglorious, only roughly three-month tenure at Eintracht Frankfurt, is expected to be presented as the new coach in Belgrade on Thursday. Riera is reportedly set to sign a two-year contract.
The former Spanish international is considered an eccentric, also causing controversies after his dismissal in Frankfurt with provocations and bizarre media appearances.
