Football racism: Bulgaria chief resigns

Borislav Mihaylov quit after Bulgaria fans racially abused England players on Monday

The president of the Bulgaria Football Union, Borislav Mihaylov, has resigned. Bulgaria's Prime Minister Boyko Borissov had called for him to quit on Tuesday after the racist abuse of England players in the Euro 2020 qualifier. Monday's match was stopped twice because of racist behaviour by some of the home fans, which included Nazi salutes and monkey chants. We get the latest reaction.
