Bulgarian football legend Hristo Stoichkov has accepted an invitation from FIFA President Gianni Infantino to join his team.

Eastern Europe is an endless source of talent and it must remain so", Stoichkov wrote on Facebook. Stoichkov did not specify a particular position, but according to sports media, he will be in charge of the Balkans and Eastern Europe at the FIFA headquarters.
