CSKA Sofia has spent hundreds of thousands of levs in compensation payouts to dismissed coaches over the past year, a financial strain exacerbated by subsequent player acquisitions made at their behest, according to reports from Tema sport. The club now faces another possibly costly separation with manager Dusan Kerkez.
These payouts stem from a series of coaching changes beginning with the departure of Tomislav Stipic at the end of August. Stipic received a settlement, followed by a BGN 240,000 compensation payment to spartak Varna for his replacement, Alexander Tomash. This coaching instability has translated into important financial burdens for CSKAS owner.
The cycle continued as both Tomash and Stipic had previously approved the signings of players like Pinto, Iseka, Vion, and Jason Lokilo. Upon their departures, these players received considerable severance packages, further depleting club funds. Negotiations are currently underway to determine the terms of Kerkez’s exit, with the Bosnian manager reportedly seeking a penalty for contract termination, as detailed in a Topsport.bg report.
