Anton Zingarevich, who still owns Botev Plovdiv, has a new club. The current owner of the “Canaries”, who has a 10-year ban from entering Bulgaria and is wondering how to get rid of Botev, already owns half of the shares of the Armenian Alashkert.
Zingarevich does not have full control over the Armenian club, but with 50%. The other equal part is for Bagrat Navoyan.
Anton Zingarevich and Bagrat Navoyan have signed an agreement under which they will be co-owners of Alashkert, say the club, which finished ninth in Armenia last season. Here is how Alashkert's communiqué continues:
"The two parties are jointly starting a new path. The goal of the cooperation is to make FC Alashkert a powerful and fighting club.
The project started in Van last season will continue in Alashkert. The Van coaching staff and the entire team of players will defend the colors of Alashkert. From June 20, the team will begin preparations for the new season. Tigran Mkrtchyan will take the position of vice president of Alashkert".
