Nemanja Vidic has indicated he will retire from international football after Serbia's failure to qualify for Euro 2012.
The Manchester United defender missed a second-half penalty as his country chased a win in Slovenia that would have guaranteed a place in the play-offs.
Instead Serbia were defeated 1-0 by Dare Vrsic's first-half goal, which signals the end of Dejan Stankovic's international career and, seemingly, that of Vidic.
'It's time for a change of generations, and for some older players to say goodbye to Serbian kit,' said Vidic, which was widely interpreted in his homeland as a personal farewell to national service.
