Galin Ivanov (born 6 April 1975) is a Bulgarian former football player and current football manager, who played both as a defender, as well as a midfielder. He made his name playing for CSKA Sofia in the Bulgarian A Professional Football Group, making a brief jump to the MLS in 2003. He is currently assistant coach of Bulgarian Second League club Ludogorets Razgrad II.
Ivanov started his career in 1992 at his local side FC Dobrudzha Dobrich before being acquired by Bulgarian First League giants CSKA Sofia in 1996. He styed at the club until 2003, winning the Bulgarian First League Championship and Bulgarian Cup twice within a span of seven seasons. In 2003, Ivanov moved to the MLS signing a contract with D.C. United and joining up with fellow compatriot Hristo Stoitchkov. In March 2004 he returned to the Bulgarian First League signing with Marek Dupnitza, where he made a total of 12 appearances until the end of the season. During the summer transfer window, Ivanov again moved countries, this time joining up with Greek top-flight newcomers Ergotelis. He managed to appear in 7 Alpha Ethniki matches before suffering a knee injury that kept him out for the rest of the tournament, which saw the club finish in 15th place and return to the Greek Second Division.
