Coach Chervenkov back at Hearts

Romanov has brought Chervenkov back to Edinburgh

Former Hearts coach Angel Chervenkov has returned to the club to assist with first team training.

The Bulgarian left Tynecastle earlier this year but has been brought back by majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov while the club searches for a new boss.

Chervenkov, who has previously managed FBK Kaunas and CSKA Sofia, will assist sporting director Anatoly Korobochka.

However, it is understood that Chervenkov is not in contention for the job on a permanent basis.

Last week, caretaker manager Stephen Frail was put on leave by the club and is not expected to be part of the coaching staff next season.
