Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Alan Pardew has quit his role as CSKA Sofia boss after several of the club’s players were subjected to racist abuse by their own fans. Pardew initially joined the Bulgarian club in an advisory capacity\u202fin 2020 but moved into the dugout after Stoycho Mladenov’s resignation this April.<\/p>\n

But the former Newcastle United boss has now left the club after four CSKA\u202fblack players had bananas thrown at them by their own fans before a game against Botev Plovdiv last month, one week on from losing the Bulgarian cup final to fierce rivals Levski Sofia.<\/p>\n

In a statement released on the club’s website, Pardew said: “First, I want to thank all the real CSKA fans for their support and passion for the club.<\/p>\n

“It was a privilege for me to be a part of and to serve this club. Unfortunately, my time here is over.<\/p>\n

“The events before and after the match with Botev were not acceptable for me, for my assistant Alex Dyer, or for our players. The reason no one gave an interview after the match was that we were all very outraged by the situation that had escalated.<\/p>\n

“Our players decided to play only out of loyalty and to protect the club. The small group of organised racist fans who tried to sabotage this match is not what I want to lead and represent the team in front of.<\/p>\n

“This is definitely not the right path for the benefit of CSKA, because such a club deserves much more.” Pardew’s assistant Dyer, the first black coach at\u202fthe club, has also left his role.<\/p>\n
