Paulo Autuori

Ludogorets comfortably beat Cherno More Varna 4-1 at home on Friday to win the Bulgarian league title for an eighth season in a row but their final-day win was overshadowed by the visitors' decision to field a weakened team.

CSKA Sofia have hired former Bulgaria boss Lubo Penev as their new coach to replace Nestor El Maestro, who left the job by mutual consent, the Bulgarian club said on Friday, reports Reuters. 

The 52-year-old Penev, one of the Balkan country's soccer icons, began his third spell at his former club CSKA after signing a one-and-a-half-year contract.

Dimitar Dimitrov is no longer the coach of Ludogorets. This was announced at today's press conference by the executive director of the team, Angel Petrichev. Now the seven-time Bulgarian champion will be led by Paulo Autuori, who is appointed as the Chief Manager of the team.
