Where is Radostin Kishishev now?
A constant presence throughout Charlton Athletic’s seven year Premier League spell, Radostin Kishishev retired in 2012 after returning to his hometown club Chernomorets Burgas in Bulgaria.
Starting his playing career in 1991, he went onto make 481 first-team appearances for nine sides including spells at English sides Leeds United, Leicester City and Brighton & Hove Albion.
A former Bulgarian international player, he represented his country on 88 occasions and played in the 1996 UEFA European Championships as well as the 1998 FIFA World Cup finals.
Upon retiring from playing Kishishev stayed with Chernomorets Burgas but moved upstairs as director of football before leaving the club in May 2014.
He was only out of a football for a few months before joining Bulgarian second division side FC Vereya in his first managerial post where he stayed for a year before joining fellow second-tier side PFC Burgas.
Unfortunately PFC Burgas dissolved in 2015 and merged with Neftochimic Burgas but Kishishev maintained his role as head coach.
In 2018, he returned to his home-town of Chernomorets once more to join Chernomorets 1919 where he spent a season as manager before moving into an upstairs role as director of youth as well as coach of their under-19’s side.
He then spent a year as chairman of the club before moving to current side Botev Plovdiv as Chief Operating Officer in August 2023.
Away from football he owns a restaurant in Burgas called ‘W’ which is run by members of his family.
