Soccer-Goal-shy CSKA turn to new coach Penev

SOFIA, April 28 (Reuters) - Cash-strapped CSKA Sofia have appointed Luboslav Penev as coach until the end of the season with the 31-times Bulgarian champions desperate to end the worst scoring run in their history.

"Penev is a prominent figure with undisputed prestige and professional qualities," CSKA said in a statement on Tuesday before adding that he could unite the fans.

The team were league leaders before the two-and-a-half month winter break but have failed to score a goal in eight matches in 2015, picking up two points in that run.

The Reds are now fourth with 46 points from 27 matches, nine behind leaders Ludogorets.
