Levski Sofia fans strip new manager during press conference

Levski Sofia fans, upset by the appointment of Ivaylo Petev as their new manager, interrupt his first press conference and force him to remove the club's shirt.

Petev was being introduced by Levski following the sacking of Serbian manager Slavisa Jokanovic. Levski owner Todor Batkov labelled the incident a disgrace and a stain on the club's reputation

first day on the job, gets stripped by angry suppoters because of an alleged statement of the coach supporting their rival team, not really a stable working environment right? i'd surely quit my job after this

[LordSuperAstro]

He has no dodgy history. There reason was being that he supported Levski Sofia's rivals CSKA Sofia. There is no way to defend the acts of these people.

[danielsuboh]

Why is there no pne stopping the fans???? Wth!

[DJElmooo]

He is a cska sofia fan who are the biggest rivals of levski sofia and the club did not agree with his appointment. Levski have recently been struggling and the fans think he will be even worse for them. Why they werent stopped? Because these fans are crazy even police would not do anything

[jordannenchev]

it is a part have been since 2007, but belive me there are fans like these everywhere

[brugesmerda]

I understand they are mad, but there are other ways to express your anger

[stuartkennedy]

This is surely not safe. This would never ever happen in England.

[Crouchy]

Rangers to be deducted 10 points by the sfa for not stopping this happen.
