Club career

Filipov began his career at the local "Sliven". His first spell at PFC CSKA Sofia spanned one season (1990–91), after which he moved to Lokomotiv GO, and then played a short time for Jeju United of South Korean K League, then known as Yukong Elephant and Bucheon SK, only to return to PFC CSKA Sofia for another year. He then spent some time playing in LEKS (Litex) before again returning to PFC CSKA Sofia for a third spell since December 1997.

Coaching career

In 2007 became coach of the youth national team in 17 years, subsequently coach of FC Vihren Sandanski from November 2007 to September 2009, with some interruptions - especially memorable 2-1 victory over Litex in 2007/08gl. 1-0 against PFC Levski Sofia and Lokomotiv Sofia,3-1 as the guest of PSFC Chernomorets Burgas 2008/09g season.,despite these victories the team left on 14 and dropped out in the "B" group. After a hesitant start in the Western "B" group in September Filipov was fired from FC Vihren Sandanski. A month later became coach of Kaliakra Kavarna in the East "B" group, led the team to first place, which automatically qualifies them in the "A" group. In the same season Kaliakra Kavarna reaches 1 / 2 final of the Cup of Bulgaria, successively removed Lokomotiv Plovdiv, PFC Marek Dupnitsa, PFC Cherno More Varna and eliminated on penalties by PFC Chernomorets Pomorie.The first season of "A" group in the history of Kaliakra Kavarna begins with a shock victory away to PFC Slavia Sofia 1-0, but after a few poor results was fired. In October 2011 is invoked by Dimitar Penev for assistant coach at the headquarters of CSKA Sofia.
