Stanimir Kolev Stoilov, nickname Murray ([Станимир Стоилов, Мъри] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)) (born February 13, 1967) is a former Bulgarian footballer, former manager of Levski Sofia, Litex Lovech and the Bulgarian national team and current manager of Anorthosis Famagusta.
Stoilov began his career at the local FC Haskovo, where he stayed until 1990. In the beg His first spell at Levski Sofia spanned 2 years, between July 1990 and June 1992, when he moved to the Turkish club Fenerbahçe SK and then played shortly for Levski rival PFC CSKA Sofia only to return to Levski Sofia for another year between July 1994 and June 1995. He then spent some time playing in Portugal and for PFC Slavia Sofia before again returning to Levski Sofia for a third spell since July 1998 as a captain and assistant manager since July 2000. In 2004 he became the manager of the team, most notably leading it to the UEFA Cup 2005-06 quarter final stage and becoming the first Bulgarian club to ever reach the group stage of the UEFA Champions League during the 2006-07 season.[1] He has also led the team to winning the national cup in 2005 and 2007, Bulgarian Supercup in 2005 and 2007 and the 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 national championship.
Stoilov briefly coached the Bulgarian national under-19 side (2003–2004). In April 2007, Stanimir Stoilov was assigned as caretaker manager of the Bulgarian national football team for the matches against Belarus in June from the Euro 2008 qualification campaign. His side won the first match against Belarus in Minsk 2-0 on June 2, 2007 and the second in Sofia 2-1 on June 6, 2007.
On 7 May 2008, Stoilov was sacked from PFC Levski Sofia together with his friend and colleague Nasko Sirakov. However, he is still popular among Levski's supporters who sometimes chant his name at the stadium. Before the 2008-09 season he took over at Litex Lovech. He lead them to winning Bulgarian cup in 2009, but quit after the club failed to reach the group stage of the Europa League.[2]
In the beginning of 2009, Stanimir was announced as the manager of Bulgaria.[3]
Stoilov didn't manage to get Bulgaria into the World Cup. After two draws with the main rival for the play-offs Ireland and a 2-0 victory against Cyprus Bulgaria's job was now even harder. After the summer of 2009 Bulgaria won against Latvia 1-0 in a friendly and against Montenegro with 4-1, Stoilov's got his first lost with the national team against Italy with 2-0. From that moment everything for Stoilov wasn't going well and he recorded a disappointing loss from Cyprus with 4-1. Bulgaria finished the campaign with a 6-2 win against Georgia. The draw for the UEFA Euro 2012 defined Bulgaria to play along with England, Switzerland, Wales and Montenegro.
2010 was a very disappointing year for Stoilov and Bulgaria. He recorded a series of weak results, including 5 losses and only 1 draw with South Africa in 6 games. On 7 September 2010, Bulgaria lost for the first time in 5 years in Sofia from Montenegro in a UEFA Euro 2012 qualifier with a score of 0-1. After this match Stoilov announced his resignation from his position as coach of the national team.
