Timeline
Iliev joined CSKA 1948 in 2016 and oversaw successive promotions, from the fourth tier to the Second League.
Valentin Iliev Ivanov (Валентин Илиев Иванов; born 11 August 1980) is a Bulgarian football manager and former professional player, who currently leads CSKA 1948 II.
Iliev's father, Iliya Valov, was goalkeeper for CSKA and Bulgaria's national team.
Iliev started his career in his home town Vratsa, where he played for the local team Botev Vratsa.
In June 2001 he signed with Ukrainian club Metalurg from Zaporizhzhya, where he played 21 matches and scored one goal.

He collected his first A Group title winner's medal at the end of the 2004–05 season.
Iliev scored 4 league goals in 18 matches that season.
On 23 August 2005, Iliev scored a goal, which helped CSKA secure a historic 1–0 away win over Liverpool in the third qualifying round of the Champions League.
However, it did not help them qualify for the Champions League group phase, as the "armymen" were eliminated after an aggregate score of 2–3, having lost their home game.
He developed a knack for scoring key goals for CSKA making good use of his powerful heading ability.
In April 2006, Iliev was given the captain's armband, as Emil Gargorov was stripped from that role as a result of loss in the Eternal derby of Bulgarian football against Levski Sofia.
In July 2006, it was announced that Iliev would be CSKA's permanent club captain.
On 30 July, he captained the team that won the 2006 Bulgarian Supercup against Levski Sofia.

On 28 September 2006, he scored his second-ever European goal in a 2–2 home draw (after extra time) against Beşiktaş in the first round of the 2006–07 UEFA Cup.
Despite some disciplinary issues, most notably his physical confrontation with Jose Emilio Furtado in May 2007, resulting in Iliev being stripped of the CSKA captaincy, he remained a cult figure for CSKA fans.
Iliev signed with Russian side Terek Grozny in February 2008 on a two-and-a-half-year deal for a reported fee of €750,000.
His first goal in the Russian Premier League came on 3 August, scoring the only goal in a 1–0 home win over Saturn Ramenskoye.
On 23 August, he scored the winning goal for a 2–1 win against Lokomotiv Moscow.
On 2 November 2008, Iliev scored another vital goal, this time a last-minute equaliser, in a 1–1 home draw against FC Moscow.
Iliev left Terek in February 2010, cancelling his contract by mutual agreement two months before it expired.
On 11 February 2010, Iliev signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Romanian club Universitatea Craiova as a free agent.
In October 2010, after a long absence from the national team, Iliev was recalled to the national side by the new manager Lothar Matthäus for the Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales.
