Former Newcastle boss Alan Pardew quits CSKA Sofia job following racist abuse directed at players by own fans

Former Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has resigned from his role as manager and technical director of Bulgarian club CSKA Sofia after his players were subjected to racist abuse from their own fans.

The 60-year-old joined CSKA Sofia in November 2020 as technical director before moving back into the dugout earlier this year in April.
