Bulgarian football legend Hristo Stoichkov has said he would not start coaching the Russian team Rostov at the moment.
In an interview for Sport Express, the 1994 World Cup's top goalscorer said he would take over the struggling Russian club "later".
''I do not want to speak about that subject now," Stoichkov commented after Rostov's 1:1 away draw with Terek. He explained that he wanted to adjust to his new job "step by step''.
The former flamboyant striker played for Barcelona FC in 1990-1995 as part of Johan Cruyff's 'Dream Team'.
Stoichkov, who managed rather unsuccessfully Bulgaria between 2004 and 2007, last worked as a coach at the South African team Mamelodi Sundowns.
The former striker was recently appointed honorary Consul in Barcelona by Bulgarian Prime Minister and a friend of his, Boyko Borisov.
