Lots of football legend becoming manager threads on here so I thought I would post my own. Here it is:
Hristo Stoichkov
Hristo Stoichkov
'Hristo Stoichov, 1994 European footballer of the year has been officialy appointed as CSKA Sofia manager. The Bulgarian who was certainly one of the best wingers of the 1990's playing for CSKA Sofia, Parma and the mighty Barcelona among other clubs. Hristo has recently been managing Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa however when Sofia offered him the job he said he never even had to think about it. The 43 year-old who won the Bulgarian league 3 times as a player aims to make CSKA Sofia a dominant force in Bulgaria and want's to one day manage Spanish champions FC Barcelona'. Stoichkov's press conference:
Mr Stoichkov, you sit here as the new manager of CSKA Sofia, is this your dream job?
Well CSKA is the club I supported as a child and it was a dream playing for them, so yes it is certainly a dream to manage them and have control over what happens at the club. However I do want to manage Barcelona in the future, I also love that club.

What are your targets here at Sofia?
I basicly want to make us the dominant force in Bulgaria. Levski are our big rivals and are probably winning more trophies than us at the moment so I want to win a lot of trophies for our fans.

Do you like your squad right now or are you going to offload some players?
The squad is very good right now but I will always look to improve on it. I might need to sell players to do this and certainly will offload players if they do not want to play for the club.
