Stuttgart sign up Stojanov

Wednesday, July 30, 2003

VfB Stuttgart have completed the signing of Bulgarian prodigy Ivan Stojanov.

Highly talented 
The 20-year-old attacking midfield player has signed a two-year contract after Stuttgart agreed a deal with his club FC Sliven. Stuttgart coach Felix Magath - who was today voted Germany's manager of the year by 'Kicker magazine' - described Stojanov as "highly talented".

Sixth signing 
Renowned for his pace, Stojanov was raised in the football academy of former Bulgarian international Yordan Letchkov. The youngster is Stuttgart's sixth summer signing after Cacau, Dirk Heinen, Imre Szabics, Jurica Vranješ and Philipp Lahm.
