Levski Sofia has initiated leadership changes aimed at transforming the club into a major European entity. Valeri Bozhinov, associated with the club, announced the appointment of Philadelpho Aparo to a leadership role within the organization.

While initially identified as the marketing director, Aparo’s role was later specified as Chief Revenue Officer. In this capacity, the Italian professional is tasked with the strategic development of all primary revenue streams, including commercial activities, brand identity, and communications. Aparo joins the club from Como, where he managed partnerships for brands such as Adidas and Uber. 

Bozhinov expressed high expectations for a new leadership team that includes Aparo, Atanas Bostandzhiev, Edu Gaspar, and Julio Velazquez, suggesting a vision to elevate the club to a status comparable to the ‘Galacticos’ era of Real Madrid.
