PFC Lokomotiv Plovdiv have reappointed Eduard Eranosyan as coach as they battle to hold on to top spot in Bulgaria.
Marinov out
The league leaders parted company with Eranosyan in February despite the 43-year-old's success in the first half of the season. However, Eranosyan's assistant Ivan Marinov was unable to help Lokomotiv climb further away from their rivals and he stepped aside after Saturday's 3-0 defeat by PFC Levski Sofia, returning to his former position as assistant.

Eranoysan will first lead the team again in tomorrow's Bulgarian Cup semi-final first leg against PFC Litex Lovech but his main challenge is to build on their four-point league advantage over PFC CSKA Sofia and Litex. "The reasons for Eranosyan's return are obvious," said Emil Nakov, Lokomotiv executive director. "The team has not been playing well in recent weeks."
