Chavdar Etropole - 2023/2024 (Season 1) - Vtora Liga (2nd Division)
League Table
We did survive! After the first half of the season, we reached the 9th place and had a very solid second half. All of the other promoted teams will be relegated immediately again. All in all a good start to the adventure.
Youth Intake
A pretty solid intake with a nice amount of potential. Two of the prospects (Arsov and Kolev) went straight into the starting eleven, Granchov got a few appearances from the bench. I'm a little bit disappointed with the personalities, but I think with a professional HoYD this will improve within the next years.
Key players
Gushterov was the most important player of the squad. He scored 21 in 34 matches and was amazing. However, I'm a little bit worried because of his age, I hope he can perform well the next season and after that, we definitivly need a new striker.
Botev got the most assists of my players. He played very good as a winger, but I did expect him to get more scorer points.
Transfers
No transfers in, of course. We lost two rotation players with potential because of the amateur-contracts after promotion. Not much of a loss in quality, but squad depth is never a bad thing.
Next season
After a good first season I expect the next one to be a calm one. I hope we can avoid a relegation battle and implement a good amount of our youngsters.
