Bulgarian player ordered to get married by clubReuters
SOFIA, Bulgaria -- Bulgarian premier league side Litex Lovech has ordered striker Ivelin Popov to get married in the coming year in the hopes it will curtail his wild living.
"I accept the order and I promise to do it," said Popov, who is a key member of Bulgaria's under-21 squad. "My bosses are right to want such a thing from me because they know my temper."
Popov, a Levski Sofia trainee who turned 19 this week, had an unsuccessful spell at Dutch club Feyenoord before joining Litex last year.
He is known for his countless girlfriends and volatile temper and upset the Litex fans on Friday when he made a gesture toward them after scoring in a 2-1 victory over Rodopa Smolyan.
However, he is promising to curb his volatile temperament and settle down with his current girlfriend.
"She's very nice and very smart. I think this will be the woman of my life, so don't remind me my past, please," he said.
"They want me thinking only about football and the marriage probably will help me to calm down.
"I know I'm a very bad boy and I want to meet my 20th birthday as a married man."
Litex, coached by Ljupko Petrovic, a European Cup with Red Star Belgrade in 1991, is third in the domestic league with 23 points from 11 matches, six behind leader Levski Sofia.

'Internet porn a growing problem for players'
Addiction to internet pornography is a growing problem among cash-rich Premiership players with time on their hands according to Peter Kay, the chief executive of the Sporting Chance clinic.
Sporting Chance has been assisting sportsmen and women with addictive illnesses since its foundation in 2000.
Kay revealed that while there have been high-profile cases of gambling, drink and drug problems among professional footballers, an increasing number are now switching on their laptops and accessing pornographic websites to fill their time between playing matches and training.
'When you start going into a porn site it leads on to other porn sites and then maybe more risky material,' Kay told BBC Radio Five Live.
'It must be stressed that if a 21-year-old is scanning a bit of porn and accessing pleasure from it, doing that once then that is not unusual and nor is it a problem.
'It becomes a problem when he is doing it 14, 15, 16 times and then when he stops, he is playing a football game and he is thinking `I can't wait to get back to that site'.'
Five Live also interviewed an unnamed Premiership player who admitted how he had fallen foul of internet sites offering thrills of one description or another.
'You can get hooked on anything, going on one site for two minutes isn't enough,' he said.
'You don't realise how much you're spending until you see it on your bill at the end of the month.
'On porn websites you have got advertisements for the porn and you end up spending more money on there. It's kind of like kids in a sweet shop.
'We finish at lunchtimes with our jobs and you can sit there for hours on end.'
