IT'S OVER: Djordjic and Sweden coach Andersson meet to end differences

Former Manchester United winger Bojan Djordjic and Sweden coach Janne Andersson have met and fixed their differences after this week's blow-up.

Andersson questioned pundit Djordjic's loyalty to Sweden after their Euro qualifying win against Azerbaijan before storming off from the panel discussion.

Yesterday, Andersson stated: "We had a good and warm talk and both feel that we were instrumental in the fact that things did not go well on Monday.

"That's why it was extra good to see each other and clean up this incident in an honest way, and we did it with understanding for each other.

"We agree to move on and thus the matter is settled."

Meanwhile, Djordjic also said on the Swedish FA's website: "It was a long, deep and nice conversation, where we reached an agreement with forgiveness on both sides. What happened between us is now over.

"It was important to me that Janne was genuinely interested in my life story and wanted to understand my reaction and feeling, even though we come from different generations and from different backgrounds.

"This meeting turned out to be more rewarding than I thought beforehand, as football was actually what we talked about the least."
