Atanas Atanasov Chernev (Bulgarian: Атанас Атанасов Чернев; born 25 March 2002) is a Bulgarian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Primeira Liga club Estrela da Amadora and the Bulgaria national team.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Chernev began his career with his hometown club Botev Plovdiv.[2] In January 2020, he was loaned to Getafe's youth academy, but due to COVID-19 he struggled for playing time and returned to Botev in the summer.[3]

He signed his first professional contract with Botev in 2020.[4] In 2022, Chernev renewed his contract for 3 more years.[5] On 13 June 2025, his contract with Botev was terminated due to unpaid wages.[6]

On 2 July 2025 he was announced as the new signing of Portuguese club Estrela da Amadora, with a contract until the summer of 2026.[7]

On 21 January 2026, Chernev signed with 2. Bundesliga side 1. FC Kaiserslautern on a loan deal until the end of the season.[8]

International career

[edit]

On 26 September 2025 he received his first call-up for Bulgaria national team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Turkey on 11 October and Spain on 14 October 2025.[9] On 14 October 2025, Chernev earned his first cap, playing the full 90 minutes and scoring an own goal during the second half of the 0–4 away loss against Spain.[10]
