China part with Petrovic
China have not renewed coach Vladimir Petrovic's contract after their failure in 2010 World Cup qualifying, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) said yesterday.
"Elimination from the World Cup left me very sad but I have had many (positive) emotions which I appreciate," the Serb was quoted as saying on the AFC website.
"The time I have had here was too short to change anything and maybe I could have done better if I had enough time."
China, who reached the 2002 World Cup finals, were dumped out at the third round stage one game early after securing just three points and scoring only two goals in their first five matches.
