Bulgarian football has been plunged into mourning following the fatal shooting of Botev Plovdiv president Iliyan Filipov outside his residence. The 53-year-old businessman and club chief was targeted in the early hours of Wednesday in the southern city of Plovdiv, prompting local law enforcement officials to immediately initiate a homicide inquiry.
Ex-Liverpool player Jordon Ibe will appear in court after being charged with actual bodily harm, having initially been arrested at Luton Airport and taken into custody on January 30. According to the Metropolitan Police, Ibe has been charged in relation to an alleged assault on December 14.
Former Liverpool winger Jordan Ibe has signed with Bulgarian side Lokomotiv Sofia. The 29-year-old will represent the club until 2027. The sensational switch comes just two weeks after Ibe put pen to paper at Kent-based side Sittingbourne. Once considered a future star of English football, the nomadic midfielder has bounced around non-league football in recent years.
