Botev Plovdiv v Dunav Ruse Preview

The problems in Dunav are far from over. The representative of the new owners of Dunav and sports director of the club Julian Zagorov, announed the new coach Engibar Engibarov.

"I explained to the players that tomorrow they will be paid one salary and one month of rent. One more salary plus two months of rent will be paid next week by Wednesday. They refused to go out and train today (01.07.2020), because they are solidarity with their ex-coach who was fired a few days ago. As former footballers, i can understand them, but on other hand, they should be professionals."

"The time is pressing us, important matches are coming.. The intentions of the new owners are to remain in the elite - not only to fight for not to be relegated but rather to establish themselves in the group" - Julian Zagorov has announed.

According to him, new players (free agents) have arrived from abroad, but they won't be able to take part in today's game.

Although there is some progress with the salaries in Dunav the situation is still far from good.

"We don't know the word "money" in our locker room! I'm telling you, we've probably got five salaries in 10month. We made a compromise for April, to take halves in May, the footballers agreed but couldn't take them either. - the ex-coach of the team Kirov told the media

"Let the bosses play against Botev Plovdiv... until someone comes and say "Guys, here are your salaries! We won't start training" - Julian Nenov added.

Botev also have some issues for today's games with Lachezar Baltov our due to injury.
