Radoslav Dimitrov (Bulgarian: Радослав Димитров; born 12 August 1988) is a Bulgarian footballer who plays for Romanian side Botoșani.[1] He normally plays as a defender in a right-back position, but can also play as a left-back and on the right side of midfield.
Career
Dimitrov began his football career at the Litex Lovech's Youth Academy. He failed to break into the first team, and went out on loan to Montana and then Sportist Svoge.
In January 2009, Dimitrov joined Slavia Sofia.[2] He made his league debut on 9 March 2009, coming on as a second-half substitute during the 1–0 away win over Litex Lovech.[3] Dimitrov's first start for Slavia came on 17 March in their 5–2 away victory over Belasitsa Petrich, playing 56 minutes.[4]
In January 2010, Dimitrov was loaned out to fellow A PFG club Montana for the rest of the season. He returned to Slavia at the end of the season having made 13 appearances in Montana's successful battle against relegation.
Dimitrov became a regular starter for Slavia during the 2010–11 A PFG season. On 4 December 2010, he tallied his first goal to give Slavia a 1–0 win against Etar 1924 for Bulgarian Cup.[5] He netted his first league goal against Lokomotiv Plovdiv on 2 April 2011, scoring the equalizing goal as the game ended in a 1–1 draw.[6]
After 5 years of playing for Slavia Dimitrov was released and in June 2014 he signed a 2-year contract with Levski Sofia.[7]
International career
On 15 March 2013, Dimitrov received his first call-up to play for the Bulgarian national team for 2014 World Cup Qualifiers against Malta and Denmark.[8] On 22 March, he made his debut in a 6–0 win over Malta, coming on as a substitute for Yordan Minev.[9]
On 10 September, Dimitrov started as a first-team choice in the qualification game against Malta. He scored the opening goal of the game managing to score his first international goal. The game ended with a 2–1 victory for Bulgaria.
