Quit threat
The Cyprus Football Association said that the Montenegrin trainer would stay despite threatening to resign after the loss in Ljubljana. The defeat left Cyprus in fourth place in Group 1 with four points from four games.
'Very embarrassed'
Vukotic, 52, had said: "My decision to resign is definite and irrevocable. I don't think I expected too much from my team and I don't think I have been betrayed by my players. But I am very embarrassed."
