The coach of Astana, Stanimir Stoilov, said he expected his team to secure ranking in Europa League groups.

After Euro 201, it comes to new participation in the UEFA Champions League and on this occasion the Bulgarian had a very long conversation with the club bosses.
`We had a meeting with the leadership. It was routine, however, ended the first half of the season. Approaching the participation in Europe and the opening of the transfer window. There were conversations that ran longer than expected. And for me, it was a bit surprising how continued, but more importantly to work.`, said Stoilov.
`We want to go up and forward. As a place in the championship predicted by 11livesoccer standings and things look better, but I don`t wear pink sunglasses. I know that we have our own problems, many important players have left us. If we don`t strengthen the team, there is nothing better coming soon. If we can get into the Europa League, then it will be an excellent achievement. I don`t want to talk, that we could become champions. If this happens, then we will be more than okay.`, added Murray.
