The president of Tsarsko Selo club stormed the field to prevent one of his players from taking a decisive penalty kick for his team in the 96th minute, in the last match of the relegation round of the Bulgarian Football League.
Tsarsko club president and owner Stuen Manulov grabbed the spotlight in the last moments of his team's match against its guest Lokomotiv Sofia last Saturday.
And spread on social media, videos of the moment of chaos that occurred when Manulov stormed the field to remove Gambian player Youssef Yafa and prevent him from taking a penalty kick.
FIN DEL TSARSKO SELO🇧🇬 con un gran escándalo.
El club jugó su último partido y dejará de existir.
En el último penalti Yaffa quiso marcar él, aunque a él no le tocaba.
Entonces salió el presidente, Stoyle Manolov, y lo echó de la cancha.

The Tsarsko team got the penalty kick in the injury time of the match, and the result was a 1-1 tie, and the team needed to score a goal to avoid relegation and continue in the First Division next season.
After calculating the penalty kick, Yaffa grabbed the ball and insisted on its implementation, so Manolov stormed the field and asked Martin Kavdansky - the first taker of the penalty kicks - to take the kick instead of the Gambian player.

The club's president was able to remove Jaffa from the field, to be executed by the player he chose, but he missed the penalty kick, so the match ended in a tie and Tsarsko Selo team was relegated to the second division.
And sports accounts and websites stated that Manulov announced the dissolution of the club immediately after his relegation was confirmed.
