Hristo Stoichkov, who is best known for his time at Barcelona, has decided to call upon his former teammate and Romanian legend Gheorghe Hagi to assist him in his latest job.

Gheorghe Hagi will be taking charge as a member of the coaching staff and will be of great assistance to Hristo Stoichkov. Hristo Stoichkov has been recently appointed as the manager of Bulgarian side Litex Lovech, who are the current Champions as well. In order to deal with such a major role, he has called upon the services of his former teammate Gheorghe Hagi, who is widely regarded to be the greatest Romanian football player ever.

Gheorghe Hagi was offered the opportunity to take charge of a lower League Romanian club, but the Romanian legend has turned out the opportunity for a lucrative job of managing the Bulgarian Champions. Gheorghe Hagi was part of the Romanian team in three different World Cups – 1990, 1994 and 1998. He was also involved in three European championships – 1984, 1996 and 2000 – as well. Even though his exploits in the club level do not match those of the International ones, many expect him to do a great job alongside his former teammate Hristo Stoichkov.

Both former players are expected to be formally announced at a press conference going to be held at the premises of Litex Lovech in a few days time. It is thought that Hristo Stoichkov is on a salary worth around € 1 million per year, while Gheorghe Hagi is not too far behind. However, the exact details of the perks being provided to Gheorghe Hagi has not been revealed. Despite being highly rated as players, Gheorghe Hagi and Hristo Stoichkov have not been successful in their managing careers, but will be hoping for a change in fortune at Litex Lovech.
