At an official press conference at the Hristo Botev Stadium, Hristo Yanev was presented to the media as Pirin's senior coach. The event was also attended by President Stanislav Manolev, who welcomed Janev to the post.

“I know Hristo Yanev and I am sure, that this is the right person for the job. I wish him success and I hope so, that we will soon get out of the difficult situation”, Manolev said.

"The situation is like this, as it is, I have accepted it and I know what I am getting into. I'd rather fight something, which at first glance seems difficult. I need to get to know this locker room first, to understand the essence of the problems and their roots, so I can deal with them. There are two days, in which to prepare the team for the match, which is ahead of us with Lokomotiv (Plovdiv) and I want to work in an environment, which gives us pleasure. I sincerely believe that, which i do, in working with boys. We need to adapt to each other as quickly as possible", Janev said.

"I have to adapt to the environment and the situation, that have led to this moment. We know the results and that is why I am here before you. We have to reckon with a rival, with the people in the locker room, we have several punishments, injured and a dressing room, lost self-confidence and self-confidence. I have a lot of work, but I can't finish it myself, and with my team. Thanks for the warm welcome, but we must get to work", said Pirin's new coach, who will debut in charge of the team on Friday, 28 October, from 16:15 no. in the match against Lokomotiv (Pd).
