Career
Born in Varna, Slavov started his career as a 10-year-old at his hometown club, Spartak Varna. He was promoted from their youth team in June 2000. After two seasons as a third-choice keeper, behind Krasimir Kolev and Georgi Arnaudov, he made his debut during the 2002–03 season on 12 April 2003 in a 0–3 home loss against Slavia Sofia, coming on as a substitute for Kolev. Since his debut, Slavov has established himself as Spartak's first-choice goalkeeper.
In June 2003 Genko was snatched up by Bulgarian giants CSKA Sofia for a fee of a reported €50,000. In Sofia he was the fourth-choice keeper and earned just one appearance. Slavov's only league appearance of that season came in a 0–3 away loss against Cherno More Varna on 8 May 2004. Following Slavov's release from CSKA he returned to Spartak Varna after signing a three-year contract in June 2004.
