Dimitar Kostadinov (Bulgarian: Димитър Костадинов; born 14 August 1999) is a Bulgarian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Chernomorets 1919.

Career

Septemvri Sofia

In the summer of 2017 Kostadinov was promoted to the first team of Septemvri Sofia. Spending the first two rounds on the bench, he made his debut in the third round league match against Slavia Sofia.[1] On 24 April 2018 he scored his first goal for the team in a league match against Lokomotiv Plovdiv.[2]

Levski Sofia

In September 2021, Kostadinov joined Levski Sofia as the first signing of new manager Stanimir Stoilov.[3] In the following months Kostadinov enjoyed a regular starting place in Stoilov's starting eleven. He was particularly prolific in the Bulgarian Cup competition scoring four goals in three games, thus helping his team reach the semi-finals of the tournament. In March 2022, however, Kostadinov along with team-mate Zdravko Dimitrov were suspended from the first team due to disciplinary issues, later identified as gambling "addiction".[4]

Septemvri Sofia

In the summer of 2022, Kostadinov terminated his contract with Levski after his suspension from the first team. He then returned back to his former side Septemvri Sofia.[5]

Crotone

On 1 February 2024, Kostadinov joined Crotone in Italian Serie C on loan with an option to buy.[6]

International career
