Aleksandar Tunchev has brought a pragmatic approach to the club since his appointment as head coach in June 2024, setting up his team in a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 formation that is compact in defence, tough to break down, can double up their strikers and hit on the counter attack.
Ilian Iliev has been in charge at Cherno More Varna since 2017 and has always been a possession-based coach. He has a wide-attacking mindset with technically able players in those positions, while the full-backs are progressive and he always finds a #10 that can be creative and create goals.
Cherno More have the momentum
Cherno More have won back-to-back games, both at home against Dobrudzha Dobrich, to keep themselves in the European places. They are on a run of three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five and look to have the edge over Arda, who have one win, one draw and three defeats in their previous five.
