Martin Miroslavov Kushev (Bulgarian: Мартин Мирославов Кушев, born 25 August 1973 in Troyan) is a Bulgarian football manager and former player.
During his football career, Kushev has often been described as an old fashioned English-style centre forward due to his physical presence and outstanding aerial ability.
Kushev started his playing career at Yantra Gabrovo. After one season on loan to Lokomotiv Dryanovo, he made his debut for Yantra in A PFG during the 1992–93 season.
In 1996 Kushev was spotted by Spartak Varna, where he scored 6 league goals in his first season and transferred to Slavia Sofia. He spent three periods with Slavia Sofia (1997–99, 2000–01 and 2002) and played also for German Saarbrücken and Levski Sofia. With Levski Kushev has won one A PFG title and one Bulgarian Cup.
In January 2003 he was signed by Russian Shinnik Yaroslavl, where scored 10 goals for two years in the Russian Premier League.
After a half season at Litex Lovech, Kushev returned to Russia, signing with Amkar Perm. He marked his debut with a goal in a 3–2 victory over Saturn on 24 July 2005. In 2008, he took over the captaincy of Amkar, a responsibility he held until leaving the club in December 2010. He played his last match for Amkar on 28 November 2010 in a 0–0 home draw against CSKA Moscow. Martin spent 6 seasons of his career at the club of Perm, playing in 134 games. With his 35 goals Kushev is the third highest scorer at Amkar in the Russian Premier League.
