Since October 21, 2010 he became temporary head coach of CSKA. The team showed nice results under his charge and he got assigned as permanent head coach. His assistants are Todor Yanchev (team's captain) and Svetoslav Petrov. He got in charge of the team, when they were 11th in the league and drove them to 3rd place at the end of the season.
