CSKA Sofia coach Hristo Yanev calls for overhaul after draw with Slavia

CSKA Sofia head coach Hristo Yanev criticised the team's performance after a goalless draw with Slavia in the opening round of the 2026/27 efbet League. He said the side played poorly, with ineffective flanks and a lack of the drive needed to fight for the championship, and acknowledged that fans' dissatisfaction was justified.

Yanev took personal responsibility, stating that a potential replacement would not be a problem and that fundamental changes to the playing style are required. He highlighted the upcoming challenging away fixture against Qarabağ in Azerbaijan and reiterated the club’s ambition to become a domestic champion and a strong presence in European competitions.
