Aleksandar Dimitrov (Bulgarian: Александър Димитров; born 12 September 1976) is a Bulgarian football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He is currently the manager of the Bulgaria national team.
Dimitrov served as manager of Beroe Stara Zagora;[2] he resigned on 17 October 2016.[3] On 14 March 2017, he was appointed as manager of Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa.[4]
On 20 December 2018, Dimitrov was named the coach of Bulgaria's U21 side.[5] Under his management the team went close to qualifying for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, but eventually missed out. In December 2020, it was revealed by the Bulgarian Football Union that Dimitrov's contract will not be extended.[6] However, in early 2021 he was appointed once again to the same position as manager of the team.[7] In September 2025, Dimitrov became the manager of the senior national team on a two-year contract.[8]
