Serbia Euro 2024 squad: Dragan Stojkovic's full team ahead of the tournament
The Serbia Euro 2024 squad starts taking shape now, as the Eagles gear up for this summer's finals in Germany
The Serbia Euro 2024 squad will be announced in the coming weeks, with manager Dragan Stojkovic in the process of fine-tuning his team for the tournament in Germany.
While they've featured at four of the last five World Cups, Serbia hadn't qualified for the Euros since 2000 (as FR Yugoslavia) – where they made the quarter-finals and Savo Milosevic finished as joint top scorer.
There's plenty of talent in the Serbia Euro 2024 squad, though, with captain Dusan Tadic supplemented by the attacking qualities of Aleksandar Mitrovic, Dusan Vlahovic and Luka Jovic, while Sergej Milinkovic-Savic operates in midfield, too. Chelsea goalkeeper Dorde Petrovic is between sticks, too, highlighting how they certainly won't be any pushovers at the tournament this summer.
And they've got redemption on their mind. After agonisingly missing out on a place at Euro 2020 by losing to Scotland on penalties in a play-off, Serbia finished second in their Euro 2024 qualifying group to automatically reach Euro 2024. There, they'll face England, Denmark and Slovenia in Group C.
With the potential to cause a few upsets, FourFourTwo will cover all the latest on Serbia as well as every other Euro 2024 squad, with details on how to watch every fixture at the tournament.

Serbia manager: Dragan Stojkovic
A legend of Serbian football, having starred for the likes of Red Star Belgrade, Marseille and Yugoslavia during his esteemed playing career, Serbia appointed Dragan Stojkovic in 2021. The 59-year-old has been a success so far, too, helping the nation qualify for both the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024 automatically.

Stoijkovic had previously been the president of the Serbia and Montenegro FA between 2001 and 2005, before he moved into management with Japanese outfit Nagoya Grampus in 2008, and then onto Chinese side Guangzhou R&F between 2015 and 2020.
Serbia's star player
Dusan Vlahovic
While Serbia's all-time record goalscorer, Aleksandar Mitrovic, is still going strong for the national team, it's Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic that will have the biggest impact for the side at Euro 2024.
Still only 24, the marksman is a handful for defenders to deal with, with his running, strength and power all abilities he possesses in abundance. Vlahovic is no stranger to finding the goal, either, having bagged a goal every other game in all competitions for Juventus this season. Keep up that record, and Serbia could have a great chance of reaching the knockout stages.
