Seganov leaves Alania, mass purge at the club

Former Bulgarian national setter Georgi Seganov parts ways with Turkish club 'On Hotels Alanya BLD. Spor', after the club officially announced the departure of a total of 15 players after the end of the season.
Among those released are a number of well-known names, and the decision comes after the team's unsatisfactory performance – 11th place in the Turkish championship, fifth place in the national cup, and 13th position in the CEV Cup tournament.
Currently, it is unclear where Seganov, who remains an interesting figure in the transfer market, will continue his career. The setter spent three seasons with this Turkish club.
An interesting detail about the team's dissolution is that Iranian national Bardia Saadat already has a new team. The opposite hitter continued his career with Indonesian club Jakarta Bhayangkara Presisi, where he is a teammate of Bulgarian national Martin Atanasov.

The large-scale clear-out in Alanya suggests a serious reorganization of the club, which will obviously be looking for a new image for the next season. As for the Bulgarian presence in the team, for now it is limited to Seganov's departure, while Saadat has already found a new destination and will play alongside Martin Atanasov in Indonesia.
