Krasimir Balakov is an option for a new coach of the Gostivar team, which competes in the First League of the championship of the Republic of North Macedonia. This is reported by the Turkish-language specialized portal Balkan Futbolu, quoted by BTA, FOCUS reported.

"The North Macedonian team Gostivar is negotiating with Krasimir Balakov for the managerial post,", the publication states.

The Gostivar team is supported by Turkish sponsors, and the president of the club is Enes Usta. It currently occupies 3rd place in the standings with 17 points, 2 from the leader Rabotnicki (Skopje) and 1 from the second Shkendia (Tetovo).

The team is undefeated and has 4 wins and 5 draws in 9 games, but despite this, the previous head coach Muarem Muarem was released from his post.

As is known, Krasimir Balakov was last in charge of Lokomotiv (Sofia) at the end of last season, when the team was in danger of relegation. Under his leadership "railway workers” saved themselves by avoiding the additional barrages with teams from the Second League.

Gostivar had a Bulgarian specialist in its staff some time ago. Then Zlatko Yankov – another of the glorious generation of Bulgaria from the 90s, was an assistant coach of a Turkish specialist and together they managed to qualify Gostivar for participation in the First League of the Republic of North Macedonia.
