Fans of a Bulgarian football club had reportedly interrupted the unveiling of their new manager by forcing him to take off the club's shirt, which he was wearing.
The incident occurred during the first press conference of Ivaylo Petev, who was appointed as the new manager of Levski Sofia and has become the club's fourth manager in this calendar year.
According to the Mirror, although Petev had led his previous side Ludogorets Razgrad to back-to-back trophies, however, Levski fans are livid at his appointment as they believe that he supports the club's bitter rivals CSKA Sofia.
The report mentioned that the large group of supporters continued their protest by confronting the club's chief executive, who later resigned but insisted that he stands by his decision.
Levski is sixth in the Bulgarian A Division, the report added.
