Scottish football team Hearts have parted company with Bulgarian duo coach Angel Chervenkov and doctor Ivo Yakimov. The pair have had all outstanding monies paid to them by the club and are due to fly back to Bulgaria on Thursday, the Scottish newspaper Scotsman reported.
Chervenkov had been responsible for Hearts' reserve side since returning to Tynecastle last summer.
He and Yakimov initially arrived in July 2007 from FBK Kaunas but Chervenkov was sacked six months later after an ill-fated spell working with the first team.
Yakimov remained in place and Chervenkov returned to Edinburgh last June, initially assisting manager Csaba Laszlo before assuming control of the reserves.
His latest departure leaves Hearts' under-19 coach Darren Murray temporarily in charge of the reserve side, which suffered a 2-0 defeat by Celtic in Airdrie yesterday.
