Before the friendly match against Albania on October 17 in Tirana, head coach of the Bulgarian national football team, Mladen Krstajić, said the hosts are favourites to win. The Bulgarian team is visiting Tirana after a painful 0:2 loss against Lithuania.
Asked about possible resignation, the coach said: "It's not the time to talk about the big problem in Bulgarian football, as this would seem like an excuse. The problem is not Krstajić; it is important for the boys to develop. You can see how many foreigners play in Serbia and Croatia and do the math. If there are no Bulgarians playing in the Bulgarian championship, it is better to close it. We have to take care of our children. At the moment I feel Bulgarian".
After the statement, the president of the Bulgarian Professional Football League, Atanas Karaivanov, called for the resignation of Krstajić.
