Bulgarian coach Lidia Milkova’s abilities are apparently well appreciated abroad, as she is now the new head coach of Macedonia’s national women team. In recent seasons she coached Macedonia′s U20 women team.

After a few years without international competition for the team, the Macedonians finished second at the European Championship for Small Countries Women. They defeated Gibraltar, Wales, Austria and Scotland, but lost to Austria in the final - 63-68.

The 42-year old specialist Milkova started her career as a player in Varna and afterwards played for teams in Greece, Hungary, USA, Italy, Israel, Turkey, Serbia and Macedonia. Now she lives in Kavadarci and still playes successfully (as of last season - in the Greek championship).

"I feel good and I enjoy the game – said the Bulgarian for BGbasket.com – I′ll play as long as I can. Of course, I won’t be a player-coach for Macedonia, although there was indeed such an idea", Milkova said, with a smile of her face.
