(recasts, changes dateline, adds byline)
"We have never been involved in any such affair," Zabrcanec told Reuters by telephone after European soccer's governing body charged him, the club and one of its players with match-fixing.
"You can win or lose, but that's sport and there was nothing controversial in our defeat to Pyunik," he said.
"We have been notified by the Macedonian Football Federation that UEFA has started a procedure and we will state our official position on the matter soon."
"The charge is based on reports received from the betting industry on irregular betting patterns and the declarations of several witnesses," UEFA said in a statement.
"The Control & Disciplinary Body will deal with the case on April 17."
