Dobre Dimovski has been sacked from the position manager of women's national team.
Following the recent bad results, FFM's board of directors has decided to sack Dobre Dimovski, Macedonian women national team manager. Macedonian women national team is currently playing qualifications for women's EURO but the results are far from good. After 4 matches, Macedonia has only 1 point which came after the team played 1:1 against Greece in Prilep, while the matches against Italy (0:9), Bosnia and Herzegovina (2:6) and Poland (0:3) were all played in Macedonia, but points were not won.
The team's next match is on 31st of March, against Russia at 13.00 CET and the players will be led by acting managers Blagoja Filipovski and Toshe Nacev. These two will remain on the post until the board of directors brings a new name to lead the team.

Goran Ganchev Goran Ganchev, a central defender, is one of the many players that followed the trend of pursuing a career in Asia. We have conducted an interview with him in which he talks about his life in Indonesia, among other things.
Ganchev is a central defender, born on 4th of August 1983 in Negotino. He has played for several Macedonian clubs, including Milano Kumanovo, Baskimi, Pelister before starting an international career. He has played in Bosnia and Herzegovina with Željezničar Sarajevo and Velež Mostar and Croatian Inter Zaprešić before making a big step and deciding to move to Indonesia where he signed a contract with PSMS Medan. A beautiful country, but an unknown to many football fans. MacedonianFootball.com made an interview with Ganchev where we talked about his previous football experience, his current club and the life he is living in Indonesia.
MF: How was the whole transfer to Indonesia arranged?
GG: Several agents were interested in me and wanted to arrange me a move to this country for a longer time, but everything happened very fast. I was not satisfied with my status in Inter Zaprešić, an offer has arrived in meanwhile and I left for Indonesia on catholic Christmas and signed a deal with PSMS Medan until the end of the season.
MF: What's the difference between football in the Balkans and Indonesia?
GG: A footballer feels like a superstar here, in Indonesia. People are recognizing you, they want to take pictures with you, they want your autograph. Of course, there is big difference in the style of play. There are many 1-on-1 duels here, there is a lot of in-air duels, there are quality foreign players, especially strikers and central defenders. Believe me, even the domestic players are not behind. They are technically gifted players and very fast. Football is number 1 sport here, the stadiums are always packed, often there are 20.000-30.000 people and matches are played at night.
MF: How are the work conditions and how are the financial conditions?
GG: The football here is in big expansion. Clubs have hired foreign managers, the training facilities are good and investments are standard. This all adds up and results will come in near future. When we talk about the conditions for the matches - I can freely say they are much, much higher then the Macedonian standards. The financial conditions are also very good and that is one of the reasons players are choosing Indonesia, of course.
MF: How do you adapt yourself to the local life, language?
GG: I have quickly adapted to the life here and a huge help comes from all my teammates (especially the foreigners) and the manager who is Italian (Fabio Lopez). The city where I live is huge, there are 2.000.000 inhabitants and there are many European restaurants, shopping centers and I can honestly say that I already feel like at home here. The weather makes me problems sometimes because it is very wet and warm here, but I will get used to that as well. In the meanwhile I am learning the local language, but the communication is still in English.
MF: What is the deal with the 2 leagues that are currently running in Indonesia?
GG: Yes, in the Indonesian football there are 2 leagues - Indonesian Premier League and Indonesian Super League. The Premier League is the one that is officially recognized by FIFA and AFC, while the Super League is currently a breakaway league although it was used to be the recognized one, but then the Premier League was formed. This is a handicap because there are quality teams in both leagues and the quality of the competition might have been even bigger.
MF: What are the ambitions of your club?PSMS Medan
GG: PSMS Medan is a club that has separated from the existing PSMS and decided to play in the official league. In a way, this is a new club and I, along with the other foreigners, have arrived later (after 4th round). The domestic players are also new players and the club has the mission to slowly become a respected club that will fight for the top from the upcoming seasons. There is no relegation from the Premier League this season.
MF: Would you recommend Indonesia to your colleagues?
GG: Let's be honest - the football in Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and even Croatia is in financial crisis. This affects the quality and the best players are looking to leave. If a player receives an offer from Indonesia, he shouldn't think twice. He should come here and see that the football played here is good football. It is a pleasure to play in front of packed stadiums, the football is in expansion and that is notable from the fact that many players from our surroundings play here or in neighboring countries.
Goran Ganchev is a standard player in PSMS Medan after he arrived in Indonesia. He has played on 4 matches so far and even scored a goal in the last round against Semen Padang after his teammate Hyo-Yeon Ahn crossed the ball from a free kick and he headed it home. There is now a mini-break in the championship, a period that will suit his club well for even better blending in, and the matches should restart in around 10 days.
The Macedonian women's national team suffered another heavy loss, this time losing 8:0 against Russia.
In another game of the women's EURO 2013 qualifiers, Macedonia suffered one more convincing defeat by losing 8:0 to Russia. It was 2:0 at halftime before the Russian women added six more goals after the break. FFM announced a new manager for the women's national team, hoping that it will lead to better results, but the debut for the new manager resulted in another heavy defeat.
Lineup for Macedonia: Chakmakoska, Smilkovska, Ginovska (71' Stojanova), S. Andonova, Arsova, Mileska (90' Angelovska), Roki, Brahimi, N. Andonova, Naceva (80' Naumoska), Petrova.
Remained on the bench: Kostova, Salihi, Dimkoska, Mitrevska.
With the loss, the Macedonian women's national team stayed in last place of Group 1 with only one point after five games. The goal difference now stands at -24 in those games.
The Macedonian women next play Greece on the road on 4 April. The women's national team picked up its only point in qualifying when they drew 1:1 against Greece at home on 26 October 2011.
