Alan Pardew is back in full-time football management, having agreed a deal to take charge of CSKA Sofia until the end of next season.
The former Newcastle United, West Ham United and Crystal Palace boss, who reached the 2016 FA Cup final with the Eagles, had been in interim charge of the Bulgarian side since they parted ways with Stoycho Mladenov in mid-April.
However, the club have now announced a longer-term deal for the 60-year-old.
