Former Serbian footballer Nemanja Vidic, who was until Monday a contender for the top position in the FSS, has withdrawn his candidacy just one day before the election, and then he explained his move.

"Our football faces big challenges. Many things must and can be improved. My idea was and remains to assemble a team of top professionals who are able to solve these challenges better than perhaps anyone in Europe. Unfortunately, at every step of the way toward becoming the president of the FSS, it was made clear to me that we would not be given that chance.

I would like to hereby inform you that I am withdrawing my candidacy for the FSS president. The responsibility for solving the great challenges before us has been taken by the same group of people who created them. I'm definitely not optimistic about what they're going to do with the opportunity they've grabbed, and I think things are going to be even harder in four years than they are today.

Withdrawing my candidacy does not mean that I am giving up on Serbian football. I believe in my team and our vision, as well as the great help we will receive from our friends from the top of European and world football. What is unfortunately not possible for us to start working on today - my team and I will do, I believe, do in the near future. Now, that is not possible," stated Vidic.

The only candidate for the position of the FSS president now remains former footballer and Red Star official Dragan Dzajic.

Elections in the Serbian house of football are expected on Tuesday, when a decision will be made on the new leader and his team in the next term.
