Bozhidar Konstantinov Mitrev (Bulgarian: Божидар Константинов Митрев; born 31 March 1987 in Sofia) is a Bulgarian footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for Sheriff Tiraspol.

Career

Levski Sofia

Mitrev came through the youth ranks at Levski Sofia. For 2006–07 season he was promoted to the first squad as third choice behind Georgi Petkov and Nikolay Mihaylov. He made his debut in a 3–0 home loss against Werder Bremen in the group stage of the Champions League on 31 October 2006, replacing Nikolay Mihaylov at half-time. On 4 November, he started for first time, keeping a clean sheet in a 3–0 home league win over Beroe Stara Zagora. On 5 December, Mitrev played in Levski's 2–0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, making several excellent saves, including one reaction save from a Michael Essien header.[1] However, he received criticism from the Chelsea faithful for a bad challenge on Didier Drogba, clearly fouling him. Chelsea were not offered a penalty, however Drogba accepted the apologies of the goalkeeper. Mitrev collected his first A Group title winner's medal at the end of the 2006–07 season, playing 12 matches in all competitions.

On 10 March 2009, Mitrev scored 90-meters goal for the second team of Levski in a game against Vihren Sandanski.[2] On 9 May 2009, he kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 win in the Eternal derby of Bulgarian football against CSKA Sofia. Mitrev finished the season with 7 appearances in the league, as Levski clinched the A Group.

On 17 December 2009, Mitrev played in a 1–0 Europa League away win over Lazio at Stadio Olimpico.[3]

Mitrev left Levski on 1 July 2012 after his contract with the club expired. He spent six seasons of his career with Levski, mainly as a backup. He played 52 competitive games in all competitions.

Lokomotiv Sofia

After six months without a club, Mitrev joined Lokomotiv Sofia on 28 December 2012.[4] He made his debut in a 2–0 away loss against Lokomotiv Plovdiv on 2 March 2013. Mitrev left the team from the Nadezhda district after the 2014/2015 A PFG season when it was administratively relegated to the V group, as it was unable to obtain a license for professional football due to failing to meet the deadlines to pay for or provide sufficient guarantees regarding its debts.

Sheriff Tiraspol

In June 2015, Mitrev moved abroad for the first time, joining Moldovan club Sheriff Tiraspol.[5]

International career

On 7 February 2015, Mitrev made his first appearance for Bulgaria, in the 0–0 draw with Romania in a non-official friendly match, playing the first 45 minutes.[6] He earned his first cap on 8 June 2015, in the 0:4 loss against Turkey in another exhibition game, being between the sticks for the entire duration of the match.[7] His official debut followed a few days after, keeping a clean sheet the whole match in a 0-1 away win against Malta, for the Euro 2016 qualifiers.
