France coach Raymond Domenech called for his players to move on following their 3-1 defeat to Austria in the World Cup qualifier held in Vienna on Saturday.

The former World and European champions will be up against Serbia on Wednesday and the under fire tactician asked his players to put the Austria disappointment behind their backs.

"Now we are getting ready to facing Serbia. It will be as important as every game we play in the group,"

"Of course we wanted to get the three points at Vienna, but who said wecan win every game we take part in," Domenech was quoted as saying by UEFA.com on Tuesday.

Domenech was close to losing his job following his team's early elimination at EURO 2008 where France failed to register any win out of their three group games, however he still insists that the World Cup qualifications will end in a better fate.

"Qualification to the World Cup is such a long campaign, it's not about winning one or two games at the start," concluded Domenech.
