The fate of disgraced Bulgarian Sporting Lisbon forward Valeri Bojinov seems clearer, after manager Dominigos Paciencia said he has referred the case to the club's owners.

"I do not care about Bojinov any more. This hase is not important - we're thinking about our next game. The task of a coach is to play with those who have the desire to train and plain with a team," said an irritated Paciencia at a press conference.

The Sporting Lisbon manager was asked about the fate of the Bulgarian player, after he fell into disgrace with management and fans some ten days ago.

During the January 19 Sporting Lisbon ended ended in a 1:1 Cup draw at home with lower-tier side Moreirense.

In the injury-time, Bojinov decisively pushed his team's habitual penalty-taker Matias Fernandez, only to see his vital spotkick saved.
