Former Black Sea captain Daniel Dimov commented on media reports that he will take a leadership position in the club by releasing his statement.
"I have walked the path in this club from the very beginning - from the children's fields, through the youth years, to men's football. I know the Black Sea from the inside, and not only as a structure, but as a place that builds characters. This is a club with which I am deeply connected.
In the last years of my career, I consciously began to look beyond my role as a player, because I knew that I wanted to continue to be in football after the end, but not as a coach. I am actively interested in the development of the entire club, especially the children's and youth school, where the foundations are laid. I have had conversations with people on the ground about the shortcomings, the needs and what can be done better", Dimov began.
"Guided by this thought, in parallel with football I completed my bachelor's degree and now, after the end of my career, I am continuing with a master's degree in sports management, because I believe that desire and ambition must be supported by knowledge, vision and responsibility.
For me, this is not just the next step, it is a cause.
My support for Plamen Iliev is completely natural – he is a person who has been by my side over the years, at different stages of my career. I believe in loyalty, in respect and in the fact that a club is built not only with decisions, but also with relationships.
I am convinced that Cherno More has the power to develop even more when there is unity, dialogue and a common direction. "This is a responsibility that we all bear - both as professionals and as people associated with this club.
I want to build a sustainable vision for the future of football in Bulgaria. This is my only goal, everything else is taken out of context," the former captain of the "Maritimes" said in a statement.
