The defender of Pirin Petar Zanev decided to end his active football career.

In the last two seasons, the 37-year-old football player led the team of Pirin, being one of the three captains and also a key figure in the team's defense.

He is also a former captain of the Bulgarian national team, and in his rich career he played for CSKA-Sofia teams, Litex (Lovech), the Spanish Racing (Ferol) and Celta (Viggo), Ukrainian Volyn, Russian Amkar (Perm) and Yenisei (Krasnoyarsk).

Petar Zanev will continue to be part of our club, holding the position of general manager. The relationship between the club management and the team, selection work and some basic sports-technical issues, will be part of his responsibilities and tasks from now on.

FC Pirin thanks Petar Zanev for his dedication in the green shirt and wishes him success in his new challenge!
