Georgi Nikolov Dermendziev (Bulgarian: Георги Николов Дерменджиев; born 4 January 1955) is a Bulgarian former footballer and the current manager of Ludogorets Razgrad.
Coaching career
After leading Spartak Plovdiv as a head coach for one season,[1] he became an assistant at Litex Lovech under Ferario Spasov. He remained in this role for several years, followed by short spells at Botev Plovdiv and Sliven.
Ludogorets Razgrad
On 31 July 2014, he replaced Stoycho Stoev following his sacking from Ludogorets after a 0:0 home draw with Partizan Belgrade in a Champions League qualifying match.[2] Before this Georgi worked with Stoev and Ivaylo Petev as an assistant manager since 2011.[3]
On 27 August 2014, Dermendzhiev became the second Bulgarian manager (after Stanimir Stoilov in 2006) to qualify a team from his country to the group stage of the Champions League.[4]
He resigned from the team on 31 May 2015, but after Ludogorets was unsuccessfully led by his successors Bruno Ribeiro and Eduard Eranosyan, he was appointed again as manager on 6 November.[5]
In the 2016–17 Champions League Ludogorets won the qualifiers against Mladost Podgorica and Red Star Belgrade, and the play-off against Viktoria Plzeň, respectively, thus becoming the first Bulgarian team to qualify twice for the group stage of the tournament, both times with Georgi Dermendziev as a coach.
