Lokomotiv Plovdiv owner Hristo Krusharski confirmed coach Aleksandar Kosic will remain at the club and outlined conditions for his potential departure.

Lokomotiv Plovdiv owner Hristo Krusharski has dismissed rumors regarding the departure of coach Aleksandar Kosic, stating that the coach will remain with the club as long as he is in charge. Krusharski also addressed the club's financial situation, his ownership status, and ongoing negotiations with potential Japanese investors.

Financial Demands and Ownership

Krusharski stated that he is willing to step down as owner if an interested party deposits 3 million euros into the club's treasury. He emphasized that he remains the sole owner, noting that official commercial registry documents confirm his position. To become a primary contender in the league, Krusharski estimated the club requires an additional 100,000 euros in monthly funding, noting that the team currently operates on one-third of the budget of rivals like Levski, CSKA, and Ludogorets.

Team Performance and Infrastructure

Regarding the team's current form, Krusharski described the recent decline as temporary and expressed confidence in an upcoming victory against Botev. He also addressed the poor condition of the stadium pitch, explaining that construction work at the facility is damaging the grass. He plans to spend 10,000 euros during the league break for temporary repairs to the surface.

Investor Negotiations

Krusharski confirmed that negotiations with Japanese investors are ongoing. He described the potential partners as serious individuals who are currently evaluating three different clubs to determine if an investment in Lokomotiv Plovdiv is financially viable.
