The result of the test was negative, which especially pleased Petev, who intends to return to normal work activities in the next few days.

“I take this opportunity to thank the people who sent me messages of support during this period. The illness itself was not as difficult for me as the absence from the matches against Costa Rica and France. However, I had the great support of the technical staff, the players, who was constantly calling me, and especially the medical team of the national team. Thank you very much, it is a pleasure to work with such associates and I can’t wait to be together again”, said Petev.

The head coach also added that he owed gratitude not only to the sports public, but also to all those who were with him and provided him with great support.
