Disappointing season
Napredok are currently seventh in the league with just 29 points from 21 games and their recent 1-0 home defeat to FK Tikves signalled the beginning of the end for Ljamceski.
'Results will follow'
"Napredok have a good team and my main task will be to re-install self confidence in them," Bocevksi said. "I can promise them hard work and the results will follow from that."
Dojcinovski appointed
Meanwhile, the former Yugoslavia and FK Crvena Zvezda defender, Kiril Dojcinovski, who recently returned from a spell as coach of the El Salvadorian side Luis Ángel Firpo, has been named as the new coach of struggling FK Bregalnica Delcevo.
Second from bottom
The former coach, Ilija Dimoski, was sacked last week following a draw and two consecutive defeats left the team second from bottom in the standings after three games of the spring campaign. Delcevo were held 1-1 by FK Pobeda, and lost against FK Sloga Jugomagnat (2-0) and FK Cementarnica 55 (1-0).
Uphill struggle
Delcevo were promoted last year but now face an uphill struggle to retain top-flight status. The club parted company with Bulgarian coach Jordan Samokovliski earlier in the season. "I will do my best to keep Bregalnica in the top league and now we have to work hard to achieve that goal," Dojcinovski said.
