Former Uganda Cranes head coach Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic has officially been appointed the new Libya national senior football team head coach.
Christened the 'Serbian Wolf', Micho has reportedly signed a two-year employment contract with the North African nation.
The Serbian tactician comes in as a direct replacement for Libyan native Salem Al-Jalali, who has been in the position on the interim basis for the past months.
The developments come just a month since Micho was sacked from the same role in Uganda, having endured an unpleasant spell of results.
Micho's immediate task with Libya will be to guide the country through the forthcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
