Stefan Grozdanov has resigned as coach of PFC Lokomotiv Sofia after a run of five games without a win which has seen them drop out of the Bulgarian A PFG title race.

A 2-1 home defeat by fourth-placed PFC Litex Lovech on Wednesday proved the final straw for 62-year-old Grozdanov, who tended his resignation. Assistant Dimitar Vasev will take the reins until a permanent replacement is found.
