One of the famous names of PFC Levski – Georgi “Gonzo” Ivanov is the new president of the Bulgarian Football Union (BFU).
The former footballer was elected by 235 votes in his support (with 234 needed) leaving behind the Bulgarian football legend Dimitar Bertrabot (who has played for the CSKA Sofia, Bayer Leverkusen, Tottenham, Manchester United, Fulham and other teams), who received 181 votes. Seven candidates took part in the vote for president of the BFU. Dimitar Berbatov was the first to have taken up arms against Borislav Mihaylov and the poor management of Bulgarian football.
