Tuesday, 04 March 2003

FK Pelister have sacked coach Perica Grujevski after his side lost their first game after the winter break in F.Y.R. Macedonia.

Replacement named
Grujevski was given his marching orders following the 1-0 home defeat against FK Sileks. He will be replaced by Spase Ristevski, who until now has been the assistant coach of the Macedonian Under-21 team.

Fourth coach
Ristevski will become Pelister's fourth coach this season. During a previous spell in charge, he helped the club win the national cup two years ago. He takes over a side occupying ninth place and battling to avoid relegation from the 12-team top flight.

We had many disagreements with Grujevski Gorna Nevenovski

President unhappy
"We had many disagreements with Grujevski," said Pelister president Gorna Nevenovski. "One of the most important things is that he refused to sign new players during the winter break."
