Former Red Star Belgrade and Inter defender Sinisa Mihajlovic has been named new Serbia coach.

The 43-year-old takes over from Vladimir Petrovic, who was sacked after Serbia failed to qualify for the European Championship.

Mihajlovic says he is ''honored'' to become Serbia's coach.

Mihajlovic signed a two-year contract on Monday for a reported ?300,000 ($382,500).

Mihajlovic takes charge more than six months after being sacked by Fiorentina in Italy's Serie A.

Prior to his spell as Fiorentina coach, the former free-kick specialist was in charge of Bologna and Catania and was an assistant coach at Inter.
