Coach of the Month Atanas Petrov

Atanas Petrov, the head coach of the national team, was announced as "Coach of the Month" – the specialist who led Bulgaria U19 to the world title. The event coincided with Petrov's departure for Switzerland, where the 48-year-old coach continues his career, taking over the men's Swiss vice-champion – Volley Schönenwerd.
