Sirakov has been in Ludogorets since January 2021 when he was appointed coach of Ludogorets III. At the end of 2023, he took over Ludogorets II, with which he achieved remarkable results from the beginning of the season in the Second League. At the moment, the double of Ludogorets, in which 16-17-year-old youths from the Academy predominate, occupies first place in the provisional ranking. For Georgi Dermendzhiev, this was the third period at the head of Ludogorets, in which he became the champion of Bulgaria and guaranteed another participation in the group phase of the European club tournaments”.
