Playing career

Spasov played for Lokomotiv Sofia, Dunav Ruse, Cherno More Varna and Spartak Varna in his country. With the first club, he won the Bulgarian League in his first professional season.

Spasov moved to Portugal in December 1986, and remained in the nation for the following seven years, representing five teams. In the 198990 season, he scored a career-best 34 goals for Paços de Ferreira, which however failed to promote from the second division; in the top flight, he played with Farense, Beira-Mar and Paços.

In June 1994, after one season in his homeland with former team Cherno More, Spasov retired from football at nearly 36 years of age.

Coaching career

Spasov started managing in Portugal and Spain, in both countries at amateur level. In 2003, he was appointed at Marek Dupnitsa in his country, switching to the Republic of Macedonia and Bregalnica Štip the following season.

From 2006 and during four years, Spasov worked with former club Cherno More, as assistant, head coach and scout.[1] In 2011, he returned to Bregalnica.
