Saint Nazaire officially presented Vladimir Garkov

Bulgarian international Vladimir Garkov is the new addition to French club Saint-Nazaire! ✍️ The outside hitter, who played a key role in Levski Sofia's second consecutive Super Volley title, was officially presented as a new player for the 2023/24 French champions. Thus, at just 21 years old, Garkov takes the next serious step in his career, entering the big international stage. 🌍

Over the last two seasons, Garkov won everything possible with the 'Blues' – 2 titles, the Bulgarian Cup, and two Supercups. In 2023/24, he also debuted in the Champions League, and before that, he won a bronze medal at the U21 World Championship and was a U19 vice-champion in Iran (2021).

🔹 A youth product of Victoria Volley, and part of Levski since 2019, Garkov has established himself as one of the most promising names in Bulgarian volleyball.
And with the signing of the Bulgarian, Saint-Nazaire clearly shows its ambitions to return to the fight for the top. 🏆

👉 Garkov is not the only Bulgarian who will play in France next season. Outside hitter Venislav Antov also signed – with Tourcoing.
