Zdravko Minchev Dimitrov (Bulgarian: Здравко Минчев Димитров; born 24 August 1998) is a Bulgarian professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Bodrum.

Career

In July 2017, Dimitrov was loaned to Botev Vratsa. He was named on the bench for three Botev's games in the Second League, but he did not make an appearance in either match. He was recalled by his parent club after spending a month in Vratsa.

On 3 September 2017, Dimitrov joined Lokomotiv Sofia on loan until the end of the season.[2]

Levski Sofia

He became part of Levski Sofia in the summer of 2019. He made his debut on 11 June in the Europa League qualification win against Ružomberok substituting Iliya Yurukov in the 89th minute. He scored his first goal for Levski on 14 February 2021 in the 2–0 win against Montana. Receiving good pass from Nigel Robertha, dribbling past one opposite defender he netted the first goal of the game in the 14th minute.[3] Upon the return of Stanimir Stoilov as head coach of Levski in September 2021, Dimitrov was sidelined on his position as left-winger by new signing Welton. In March 2022, Dimitrov along with fellow team-mate Dimitar Kostadinov were excluded from the squad by manager Stoilov due to disciplinary issues, later identified as gambling addiction.[4]

loans

Six months after Dimitrov's suspension from the first team squad of Levski, the player joined newly promoted side Spartak Varna on a one-year loan deal.[5]

Bodrum

In July 2024, after succesful loans at Sakaryaspor in TFF First League, he was transfered to newly promoted to Süper Lig team Bodrum. On 20 August he scored his debut goal for the club which also turned to be the first ever goal of the team in the Super Lig.[6]

International career

Dimitrov made his debut for the Bulgarian under-21 team on 22 March 2019 in the starting eleven for the friendly against Northern Ireland U21.[7] He netted his first goal on 13 October 2020, opening the scoring in the 1:1 away draw with Poland U21.[8] Dimitrov earned his first cap for the senior national team on 11 November 2020, coming on as a substitute for Georgi Yomov during the second half of the 3:0 win over Gibraltar in a friendly match.[9]
