Club career

Cherno More

Dimov made his debut during the 2006–07 season on 15 September 2006, in the 6–0 away win against Chernomorets Burgas Sofia, coming on as a substitute for Slavi Zhekov.^[1] On 14 July 2007, Dimov scored his first goal for a 3-0 home win against Makedonija Gjorče Petrov in the second round of the Intertoto Cup.^[2]

In the 2009–10 A PFG season he earned 17 appearances in the A PFG. On 1 March 2010 Dimov scored his first A PFG goal for the Sailors in the 2–0 home win against Chernomorets Burgas. On 4 April, Dimov hit his second goal of the season against Sportist Svoge in a 3–0 win.

Levski Sofia

After weeks of speculation, the transfer saga of Dimov finally ended on 26 December 2010 when Levski Sofia announced on the official website that Cherno More and Levski had reached an agreement for the transfer of Dimov. In Sofia, Daniel signed a three-a-half-year contract with Levski, keeping him there until 30 June 2014.^[3]

In June 2014 Dimov refused to renew his contract with Levski and decided to leave after 3 years of playing in which he played in 73 appearances and scored 8 goals in total.
