Ješić back in Bulgaria with Litex

Serbian coach Miodrag Ješić has returned for his third spell in Bulgarian football after replacing Ferario Spasov at PFC Litex Lovech.

Spasov departure
Ješić, 49, most recently left FK Partizan in January but previously led PFC Slavia Sofia and PFC CSKA Sofia – where he took over from Spasov in February 2005 and won the title before reaching the UEFA Cup group stage in 13 months at the helm. Spasov was appointed by Litex for the fourth time in the summer but a strong start petered out and he has stepped down with the club seventh in the table, 15 points behind leaders CSKA. "The target is qualifying for European competition next season and winning the Bulgarian Cup," Ješić said. "I know some of the players and local football, and that will be an advantage."
