The extraordinary meeting of the club`s board of directors charged Nasko Sirakov to take the office of the coach before the UEFA Cup first round, first leg match away to Chelsea.

President Michael Chernoy is informed and gave his consent to our decision. For now, we are not in a hurry to appoint new coach though levski is to have 4 heavy matches,` Batkov added.
