In all my years of being a footie lover,I have never heard of fans doing this to their teams coach.Yes there is team rivalry but for fans to bully their clubs coach in his first ever press conference?Thats a first! Bulgarian Ivaylo Petev, was attacked by Levski Sofia fans on his first day at the club. Levski, Bulgarian champions on 26 occasions, were unveiling Petev after sacking Serbian Slavisa Jokanovic earlier following a poor start to the new season. A group of angry fans stormed the press conference, urging Petev to strip his Levski Sofia shirt, as they deemed him not worthy of wearing it. The fans stated that Petev, who led his former local club Ludogorets Razgrad to two surprising back-to-back titles in Bulgaria, was a supporter of Levski archrivals CSKA Sofia. The fans eventually stripped the coach off his shirt and forced him to leave the room. The fans also confronted Levski CEO Nasko Sirakov, who later resigned. Levski owner Todor Batkov described the incident as a “disgrace,” saying Petev remains the club’s new coach. Wowzers!!!
