We wish CSKA every success in achieving their goals in the new season.” comments the chief marketing director of WINBET, Desislava Koleva – Ivanova.
“You know that it is difficult in Bulgaria. In recent years, you know that we have maintained the same level. But the fans, and we ourselves, want more. We are signing this contract with hope and joy. With the hope for a better future. In front of us are sitting a number of problems, the championships begin. In my opinion, one of the most even championships is ahead. With the partnership of our main sponsor, we hope to be where the fans deserve, and the competitors themselves.”Sasho Popov also said.
At the event, he also announced another very good news for the club – the attraction of the national player Nikolay Penchev, who last played for the Turkish giant Fenerbahce.
“We didn’t seek the effect of this good news becoming a fact now. Niki Penchev has been training since the beginning of the preparatory period with us, but he was waiting to see abroad, how his future will develop. But we just agreed that he will wear the red shirt. Niki According to our standards, Penchev is a young boy, let him help the club and us for many years”Popov also said on the occasion of the attraction of the 32-year-old greeter.
He announced that it was difficult to speak as both the president and the coach, as the president should generally criticize the coach’s work. “For me, these roles overlap and it’s a bit more complicated. The selection for both men and women is as it is. In Bulgaria, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the spirit of the competitors. We are careful in our steps, comparing the past and now. It can always be more and more. I hope that the partnership with Winbet and other companies will bring it to the level of teams, not in Bulgaria, but in Europe hall. When we have partnerships, success will come. I hope we will solve our organizational problems in the coming months.”Popov added
