Macedonia have appointed Cedomir Janevski as their new boss following John Toshack's decision to terminate his contract.
Macedonia had reportedly asked the former Wales boss to move to the country in order to fulfil his duties, but he is understood to have refused to do so.
Janevski began his international career coaching the Macedonia Under-21 side and has also managed Red Star Belgrade.
The 53-year-old made five appearances for his home nation.
