Football in Bulgaria is a nightmare and to prove their point a group of hooded Levski Sofia Ultras interrupt a press conference to unveil Levski’s new coach following the sacking of Serbian Slavisa Jokanovic on Tuesday after the clubs poor start to the new season.
The Levski thugs surrounded new coach Ivaylo Petev’s table and told him: ” You’re not welcome here. Get up, undress the shirt and go. Levski will not play under you as coach.”
The reason for this was that the Levski Sofia fans think that Ivaylo is a fan of rival team CSKA Sofia, and as such is not welcome at their club.
Given the climate it was a surprise to see there was no security present to stop the meatheads from gate crashing the event, and even though Ivaylo was not hurt he was clearly shaken up by what had happened.
Levski owner Todor Batkov called the incident a “disgrace”.
“It’a stain on our club, this is unprecedented… But we stand behind our decision – Ivaylo Petev is the new coach of Levski, he defiantly insisted.
