Ivan Kamenov Ivanov (Bulgarian: Иван Каменов Иванов; born 25 February 1988) is a Bulgarian professional footballer who plays for Bulgarian national team, mainly as a centre-back. In 2013, Ivanov was named the Bulgarian Footballer of the Year, becoming the first defender to win this award after Trifon Ivanov in 1996.

Club career

Early career

Born in Zlatitsa, Ivanov was inspired to become a footballer after watching the matches from the 1994 FIFA World Cup.[3] He made his debut with Pirin 1922, before moving to CSKA Sofia in 2005. With CSKA, he was a Bulgarian Cup winner in 2006 and Bulgarian Supercup winner in the same year. In August 2007, Ivanov went on loan to Lokomotiv Plovdiv. In the winter of 2008, local media reported that he was a target for English side Derby County, but problems with the work permit stopped the transfer.[4]

He was in the starting line-up against Litex Lovech in the 2008 Bulgarian Supercup, which they won 2–1. On 19 September 2008, Ivanov scored his first goal for CSKA against Minyor Pernik, a header after a corner kick in the 67th minute. On 18 March 2009, Ivanov scored against his former club Lokomotiv Plovdiv to secure a 3–1 win for CSKA. He continued his goalscoring run on 21 March 2009, in a 2–0 win against Spartak Varna. In total, Ivanov scored five league goals in the 2008–09 season.

On 15 August 2009, Ivanov scored his first goal of the 2009–10 season, in a 3–0 home win against Beroe Stara Zagora. On 27 August 2009, Ivanov scored the winning goal against Dynamo Moscow in the Europa League play-off round, helping his team to a 2–1 aggregate win and an entry into the group stage of the tournament.[5] On 1 November 2009, he was indefinitely banned from the first team, along with eight other players, following a breach of discipline. On 20 November 2009, Ivanov was reinstated to the first team and a day later came on as a substitute for Aleksandar Branekov in a 2–2 away draw with Lokomotiv Sofia.

On 17 June 2011, Ivanov signed a three-year contract with Partizan.[7] He made his competitive debut for the club on 13 July 2011, in a 4–0 home win against Shkëndija in the second qualifying round of the Champions League. On 3 December 2011, he scored his first goal for Partizan, in a 3–0 home win against Radnički Kragujevac. He also scored a header which provided to be the winning goal in their 2–1 away win over OFK Beograd on 14 March 2012. In the 2011–12 season, Ivanov played every minute of Partizan's league matches and scored four goals.

On 30 August 2012, Ivanov scored a header against Tromsø to give Partizan a 1–0 win and thus qualify the team for the Europa League group stage. In recognition of his contributions, he was voted Partizan's Player of the Year for 2012 by the club's supporters. Ivanov was also named in the 2012–13 Serbian SuperLiga Team of the Season, alongside four teammates.

Basel

In August 2013, Ivanov signed a contract with Swiss side Basel.[8] He scored his first goal for the club with a header in an away cup match against Old Boys, with an assist coming from Matías Delgado. On 11 December 2013, Ivanov was sent off in a 0–2 loss to Schalke 04.[9]

On 14 January 2014, Ivanov suffered a knee injury in a friendly match against Eintracht Braunschweig,[10] causing him to miss the rest of the 2013–14 season.[11] Finally, the team won the 2013–14 Swiss Super League.[12] They also reached the final of the 2013–14 Swiss Cup, but were beaten 0–2 by Zürich after extra time. Ivanov also missed the entire 2014–15 season due to the injury reoccuring. Basel again won the title and again reached the 2014–15 Swiss Cup final.

Ivanov was expected to recover for the start of the Euro 2016 qualifiers,[13] receiving a call-up for the match against Azerbaijan, but was eventually deemed not fully fit.[14]

On 15 December 2015 he was relesed from the club. [15]

On 10 October 2009, Ivanov earned his fourth cap in a 4–1 away loss against Cyprus, attracting some criticism from the media for defensive mistakes.[19] Nonetheless, he played in the next match against Georgia.
