The proprietor of FC Levski Todor Batkov decided to dismiss the executive director of the club Nasko Sirakov and the coach Stanimir Stoilov. The reason is probably the scrimpy performance of the team and the two consecutive losses from Chernomorets (1:2) and Lokomotiv Sofia (0:1) in the Group A championship. Levski is on the second position 16 points behind the leader in the group CSKA.
According to Batkov this decision was difficult because both of them made a lot for the club of Levski. The club will have a new coach, Bulgarian, on the match with CSKA on this Saturday. Lots of speculations were made in the media during the last day that the new coach would be Velislav Vutsov. At present he leads Kaliakra, Kavarna.
Later in the evening the name of Velislav Vutsov was announced as the new senior coach of Levski.
