kora | News | Because of “bananas”, Alan Pardew leaves CSKA Sofia after 34 days

English coach Alan Pardew ended his job with Bulgarian CSKA Sofia, only 34 days after his appointment as technical director of the team.

The 60-year-old coached CSKA Sofia last April and left the team because of the banana incident.

Pardo announced his departure from CSKA Sofia after he threw bananas at some black players in his team.

CSKA Sofia fans attacked 4 of their players during the match against Botev Plovdiv in the Bulgarian League, and threw bananas at them.

The CSKA quartet refused to play the match after being subjected to racist abuse, but were later persuaded to play the match, which ended in a goalless draw.

Pardo decided to leave with his assistant Alex Dyer, explaining that the events before and after the match with Botev were not acceptable to them.

The former coach of Crystal Plus and West Ham led CSKA Sofia through 7 matches, winning two matches, losing the same and drawing in three.
