Template:Short description Template:Family name hatnote Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography Ivaylo Bogdanov Petev (Template:Langx; born 9 July 1975) is a Bulgarian football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He is currently the manager of UAE Pro League team Baniyas Club.

Petev spent his whole career playing in Bulgaria, apart from a season at Greek club Trikala. He was most successful early in his career with hometown club Litex Lovech.

After finishing his playing career, Petev became a manager, managing and having the most success at Bulgarian club Ludogorets Razgrad. He also worked as a manager in Cyprus, Croatia, Saudi Arabia and Poland. Petev worked as head coach of the Bulgaria and Bosnia and Herzegovina national team as well.

Playing career

Petev previously played as a midfielder for Litex Lovech, Spartak Varna, Rodopa Smolyan and Marek Dupnitsa.[1]

Managerial career

Ludogorets Razgrad

After a short spell at Lyubimets as a player-manager in 2009, Petev was appointed as manager of Ludogorets Razgrad, following Kiril Domuschiev's purchase of the club. He managed to lead the team to a promotion to the top division of Bulgarian football, followed by two A Group titles (the first in the club's history), a Bulgarian Cup and a Bulgarian Supercup. On 21 July 2013, Ludogorets replaced Petev with Stoycho Stoev after poor performances against Lyubimets and Slovan Bratislava in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds.[2]

Levski Sofia

On 8 October 2013, Petev became manager of Levski Sofia, which proved unpopular because of his past club allegiances. At his public unveiling, gathered Levski supporters stripped off his shirt in front of the press, which led to Petev's resignation a day later.[3][4][5][6]

AEL Limassol

In October 2013, Petev signed a contract with Cypriot side AEL Limassol. He led AEL to the first place in the regular season's league table, three points ahead of Apollon Limassol and APOEL Nicosia, which resulted in the qualification for the play-offs. Although leading the group until the last round, AEL lost the title in the decisive match against APOEL. Despite the defeat, AEL qualified for the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League season. Petev led the team to a 1–0 win against Zenit Saint Petersburg in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round, but his team failed to keep the advantage and lost the second leg 0–3, thus being eliminated and placed in the UEFA Europa League. AEL were drawn against English team, Tottenham Hotspur, but were eliminated after losing 5–1 on aggregate.

Bulgaria

In December 2014, Petev was officially appointed by the Bulgarian Football Union as head coach of the Bulgaria national team.[7] In his first official game in charge, Bulgaria played a 2–2 draw at home against Italy despite leading until the 84th minute thanks to first half goals from Ivelin Popov and Iliyan Mitsanski. The team eventually finished in fourth place and was unable to qualify for UEFA Euro 2016. During his tenure, Petev was interested in strengthening the national side by securing the services of a number of foreign-born players with Bulgarian roots such as Borys Tashchy and Nikola Vujadinović, though some issues, mainly relating to the paperwork, prevented them from making their debuts.[8]

Dinamo Zagreb

On 27 September 2016, Petev became manager of Croatian team Dinamo Zagreb.

He was sacked on 13 July 2017, after Dinamo finished the season trophyless for the first time in twelve years, and after he fell out with several players including Ante Ćorić, Sammir and Junior Fernandes.[9]

Later career

After Dinamo, Petev worked as a manager at Cypriot club Omonia, Saudi Arabian side Al Qadsiah and Polish club Jagiellonia Białystok.

Bosnia and Herzegovina

On 21 January 2021, it was announced that the Bosnia and Herzegovina FA had named Petev as the new Bosnia and Herzegovina national team head coach, ahead of the country's 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[10]

He debuted as head coach on 24 March 2021, in a World Cup qualifier game against Finland, which ended as a 2–2 draw.[11] By the end of the qualifying campaign, Bosnia and Herzegovina won only seven points, making it the worst qualifying campaign in their history.[12][13] On 23 September 2022, Bosnia and Herzegovina topped their group in the UEFA Nations League, and got promoted to League A.[14]

Despite promoting the team to the UEFA Nations League A, Petev's contract expired and he was released from his duties as head coach in December 2022, before the start of Bosnia and Herzegovina's UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.[15][16]

Return to Ludogorets

In March 2023, Petev once again took over as manager of Ludogorets Razgrad, succeeding Ante Šimundža.[17]

Personal life

In December 2014, Petev appeared on Slavi's Show. He is married and has a daughter.[18]
