The management of Bulgarian champions Litex Lovech are expected to dismiss its head coach Lyuboslav Penev over the team's poor results.

The news comes amid speculations that Lyuboslav Penev, the nephew of the country's most successful manager in history, Dimitar Penev, has been tipped as a strong favorite for taking over the national team after it broke up with German legend Lothar Matthaeus.

Penev was appointed at the helm of Litex Lovech exactly a year ago, replacing Angel Chervenkov shortly after he was sacked for the team's failure in the Champions League.

Before that Lyuboslav Penev resigned from his post of CSKA Sofia coach along with the whole coaching staff of the top Bulgarian club.

Lyoboslav Penev's tenure in charge of CSKA was tainted with controversy including a travel ban over his default BGN 2 M loan from EIBank.

Lyuboslav Penev was appointed CSKA Sofia coach in the spring of 2009 after replacing his legendary uncle Dimitar Penev.
