Managerial career
Dobrev managed a number of clubs in his homeland of Bulgaria before going to Africa.
While in charge of Hearts of Oak, he invaded the pitch, whereupon he was called up for a disciplinary hearing in 2007. It was in a game opposing Tema Youth.
Heartland FC dismissed the Bulgarian tactician from his role in 2009, adducing differences with the management and a poor run of results as the reasons for his sacking.
In 2009, Mitko joined Lobi Stars F.C. of the Nigerian Premier League.
National sides such as Togo, Benin, Eritrea, and Uganda have shown interest in the 63-year old but financial conditions have not satisfied him.
