Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic dedicated their bronze medal to Luka Modric and hinted that the captain may stay on to help his country qualify and try to win Euro 2024 in Germany.

Croatia defeated Morocco to finish third in the 2022 World Cup.

The Real Madrid midfielder is 37 but still playing at the highest level, and when Dalic was asked about him staying on he replied: "Yes, I hope so.

"Some people might think it is the end for him but I think Luka Modric will stay with us for a long time.

"He's our captain, he's our boss, our leader and everybody follows him. He played fantastically well in this tournament. He's 37 years old but played like a 25-year-old. I'm very happy with him, and this trophy is also for him."

Modric has since stated he intends to play on with Croatia until June before assessing his options.
