The Bulgarian Football Union will hold a meeting Tuesday to determine the new manager of the national football team after former boss Stanimir Stoilov resigned earlier this month.
Stoilov's resignation came in the wake of two disastrous losses right at the start of Euro 2012 qualifications – 4:0 against England in London and 0:1 against Montenegro at home, which left Bulgaria with meager chances of qualifying for the tournament to be held in Poland and the Ukraine.
During the last weeks, the press and Football Union sources have made it clear that the new manager is very likely to be a foreign national.
Tuesday Meridian Match, a Bulgarian sports newspaper, writes that that might be even football legends Lothar Matth?us and Radomir Anti?.
Other speculated names include Serbian Miroslav ?uki? and Romanian Miroslav L?c?tu?.
The Bulgarian Football Union meeting is scheduled for 15.00 EET Tuesday.
