Lokomotiv Sofia is eyeing a new senior coach following the departure of Stanislav Genchev. The club's options include Georgi Donkov and Zahari Syrakov, with Donkov seen as the favorite. Last season concluded with the academy director acting as coach, Ratko Dostanić, who subsequently moved to "Ovcha Kupel."
In recent days, there have been discussions about Ivelin Popov joining "Nadezhda," but the former national player is not returning to the field. Instead, he has been considered for a director role at Lokomotiv. Popov has announced his interest in a managerial position rather than coaching.
He is an option for the technical director role, though club owner Veselin Stoyanov has not yet made a final decision. Popov is also being discussed for a position at Etar. Meanwhile, Dimitar Vashev is a potential candidate for the executive head role at the "red-and-blacks."
Fans are eagerly awaiting official announcements on these changes, hoping that they will set the club on a path to higher goals for the upcoming season.
This is a huge deal for Lokomotiv fans! The club needs stability, and Popov could bring that. But will Stoyanov make the right call? Let's hope so!
