Levski boss Nasko Sirakov gave an extensive interview to Georgi Dimitrov from Bulgarian National Radio, in which he spoke about the current situation in Gerena.
The situation at the club. Bankruptcy Possible?
“The situation in the club is difficult in a word. It is very difficult from the financial point of view. They generate a lot of their own income during these four months, but they end up being insufficient. We continue to suffer from the lack of general sponsor, second sponsor, Levski advertisers you can file for bankruptcy at any time. This is the situation, but you will not. We are still fighting. We are in talks with quite serious companies, some of them are in a very advanced stage and I hope they will be finalized soon. in the next two or three weeks the first light will appear in the tunnel. Not the first. The biggest light in the tunnel is our fans who continue to work miracles. The last example is how the sale of membership cards is developing. Our employees told me I will be satisfied with 15 thousand cards sold. I will be extremely dissatisfied with less than 50 thousand membership cards sold. We have enormous potential that we have not we developed. A second wave of sale of these cards is approaching and I travel anywhere in Bulgaria, where I have the opportunity to meet more Levski fans. I hope to make the first trips in a week or two.
Subscription cards in the second week performed better than last year. You also have to take into account the fact that it was forbidden to attend matches. There were objective reasons related to the pandemic. I think we are three times better than last year. And overall, the membership cards are working fantastically so far.

Levski’s presentation
I can’t call Levski’s performance hesitant. If anyone expected anything else, they were looking at Levski with pink glasses. The most normal thing is that after having released 15-16 players and built a new team with different economic parameters, it is normal that there is a decrease in the team and in its performance. Levski has one goal, not to chase a classification, but to save. This is the first, basic, only and most important task before us. And I help the national team, but also the coaches. In soccer, there are never and should not be deadlines. Especially for coaches. It never crossed my mind to change coaching staff and I am willing to bet with you that there will be no such castling at least until the new year.
The coach is Georgi Todorov, not Zhivko Milanov. How they distribute their functions is your problem. Zhivko can help at certain times, but the coach is Georgi Todorov.
I don’t have time to watch Levski’s training. During the week, if I can go watch for 15-20 minutes, that’s fine. I have other problems to solve at this time. This is not good for Levski, but it is good for the club that is not training.

The objectives
The purchase of membership cards is not related to Levski’s wins and losses. People are aware of Levski’s problems. The results will come. Where it has flowed, it will flow again. I see Levski in the top six teams at the end of the season. I will not be disappointed and I will be seventh. It doesn’t matter if Levski is fourth, third, fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth, since he is not the first.
We were unable to make these outbound transfers that we wanted to do. We believed that with outgoing transfers we would alleviate accumulated debts. It was around 5-6 million before my arrival. In order not to lose a license, we signed an agreement with each player and now we have to pay for those agreements. We also have separate liabilities with the National Revenue Agency, where we also have to pay.
Stanislav Ivanov is a football player for Levski. There was an offer for him from the Second Bundesliga, but he didn’t want to leave. Iliya Yurukov is a Levski soccer player and has to fight for a place in the team.
Borislav and Radoslav Tsonev’s injuries had a very negative effect on Levski’s performance. The same goes for Stein Spearing, which was sold. Martin Raynov can help us. He is a serious footballer. I want to take 2-3 new ones in the winter, and I am convinced that we will not go wrong.
General sponsor? In 2-3 weeks to have a general sponsor. We talk about financial parameters and when we have something specific, we will announce it.
Without thinking, I’ll start saving Levski again. Levski’s salvation is a cause. It is not about any wish or consideration of the situation.
Preparations for the match with Slavia have started in Levski
The footballers, who are not part of the national teams, trained at the “Georgi Asparuhov” stadium.
Judges and the Bulgarian Football Union
The judges? I waited and thought that things weren’t accidental or skewed. But with every passing game I am convinced that they are absolute scoundrels. And the greatest of them is the one who now plays the role of superior judge. This absolute scoundrel must immediately resign from this position and disappear from football. Last week, he boldly explained how Levski benefited from referees for two games. This absolute scoundrel must disappear from football as soon as possible. Before Levski, the ranking is not intended to confuse someone’s accounts. Levski is struggling to survive and I hope these pesky insects, sassy flies, and mosquitoes will either get on the right track or not on the right track after the BFU congress in December. In Congress, we will support the one who presented the best platform for football development, but there is certainly a need for change.
When will Levski be champion?
Levski will be champion again when he recovers. To want something, you have to be prepared for it. Levski is far from that. Levski has other goals. Levski must liquidate all his obligations. To be a pure team of players, coaches, players and the National Revenue Agency. Only then will we think of returning to the place where we belong.
