PlamenMarkov has proved the doubters wrong during his time in charge of the Bulgarian national side.
Markov’s appointment in December 2001 was criticised by some pundits who questioned his credentials, having been plucked from Bulgarian Second Division side FC Vidima-Rakovski.
Markov has a reputation for being tactically astute and communicating effectively with his players.
Markov, 46, was coaching his home-town club in December 2001 when the Bulgarian FA decided that this former international from the 1980s was the man they needed to head the national team's assault on the Euro 2004 and he has not let them down.
But Markov is preaching caution as he prepares his players for their appearance on one of the biggest stages in sport for the first time in eight years.
Markov, who studied at a French coaching school and is a graduate of Bulgaria's Sports Academy, previously coached French club Grenoble, the Bulgarian under-21 team and premier league club CSKA Sofia as well as Vidima.
