SOFIA, July 30 (Xinhua) -- Dimitar Penev Monday said that he has been reappointed coach of Bulgaria for their remaining Euro 2008 qualifiers.

"I'm the new national team's coach but we can talk about the details at tomorrow's (Tuesday's) news conference," he said after leaving the Bulgarian Football Union (BFU) executive committee's meeting.

Penev replaces Hristo Stoichkov, who quit in April to take charge of Spain's Celta Vigo. Levski Sofia's Stanimir Stoilov was appointed caretaker coach for the qualifiers against Belarus last month.

In his first spell in charge, Penev guided the Balkan country to the semi-finals of the 1994 World Cup in the U.S. and qualified the side for Euro 96 in England.
