Lokomotiv Plovdiv seeks new owner amid management vacuum

Overview

Following Hristo Krusharski’s announcement to step down as owner of Lokomotiv Plovdiv, the club has entered a period of management instability. The club issued a statement confirming that it is currently without active management due to Krusharski’s withdrawal from both funding and operational activities.

While the club is engaged in discussions with interested parties regarding the acquisition of shares, no concrete agreements have been reached, and there is no specific timeline for the appointment of a new owner. To sustain daily operations and cover essential expenses, the club is currently relying on revenue from ticket sales and other operational income. Management has emphasized that financial contributions from supporters are “vital for the club’s immediate survival and ongoing maintenance.”
