Aleksandar Dimitrov is a Bulgarian professional football manager and former player who served as manager of Beroe Stara Zagora before resigning on 17 October 2016. He was subsequently appointed manager of Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa on 14 March 2017, continuing his domestic coaching career following his earlier tenure at Beroe.
Dimitrov was named coach of Bulgaria's U21 side on 20 December 2018 and guided the team close to qualifying for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. Although his contract was not extended in December 2020, he was reappointed to the same position in early 2021 after previously managing the senior national team.
Edi Iordănescu is favored by Bulgarian media to succeed Aleksandar Dimitrov as national team coach, despite criticism from former U21 manager Aleksandar Stankov regarding the state of Bulgarian football.
