Coach Petar Hubchev’s relationship with 26-times Bulgarian champions Levski Sofia has ended after a poor run, which culminated in two defeats following the stoppage brought about by the coronavirus pandemic.
The club has quickly appointed his successor, with Levski Sofia in a statement naming former forward and coach Georgi Todorov as the new manager.
It added in the statement that it was negotiating with the 56-year-old Hubchev and his assistants to terminate their contracts.
Ex-Hamburger SV and Eintracht Frankfurt defender Hubchev, part of the famous Bulgaria team that reached the 1994 World Cup semi-finals in the US, took over at Levski Sofia in June 2019.
This was after a three-year spell managing Bulgaria’s national team.
Levski Sofia suffered a 1-0 home defeat to champions Ludogorets last week Friday when the domestic league resumed, and 2-0 at Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the Bulgarian Cup semi-final first leg.
They have now slipped to fourth place in the league with 46 points, as Ludogorets top the standings with 58 points, nine ahead of Lokomotiv Plovdiv and CSKA Sofia.
