Bulgarian prime minister has demanded the head of the country's football association Borislav Mihaylov to step down with immediate effect after England players were racially abused in during the Euro qualifier in Sofia on Monday. Boyko Borissov "strongly condemned" the behaviour that saw Nazi salutes and monkey chants. The match which England won 6-0 had to be stopped twice due to the racist behaviour by home fans.
