The 30-year-old Bulgarian has played football for Kortrijk since the summer of 2023. Previously, he defended the colors of OH Leuven in Belgium, which stole him from CSKA Sofia in his home country in mid-2020. The defensive midfielder, who has thirty caps with the national team, has not yet made any minutes for the main squad this season.
“We thank Kristiyan for his commitment to the club and wish him every success in the rest of his career,” Kortrijk said in a short statement. The team of Yves Vanderhaeghe, who succeeded Icelander Freyr Alexandersson as head coach in the middle of this month, will enter 2025 as fifteenth and penultimate in the Jupiler Pro League.
