Germany's former World Cup winning captain Lothar Matthaeus is to be appointed the new Bulgaria coach.

"
Matthaeus will be officially presented in a few days,"
BFU president Borislav Mihaylov said, adding that the former midfielder had agreed a one-year contract with an option for two more years.

Matthaeus, who captained West Germany to the 1990 World Cup title and won a record 150 caps, replaces Stanimir Stoilov who resigned following Bulgaria's back-to-back Group G defeats by England and Montenegro in the Euro 2012 qualifiers earlier this month.
