Career

Levski Sofia
Stanchev with Levski in 2011

Stanchev comes directly from Levski Sofia's youth academy. After the establishment of the second team of Levski, he became a part of the new-formed PFC Levski Sofia B. During the first season of the Doubles League, Levski became a champion.

Stanchev made his official debut for Levski's senior team at 13 June 2009 in a match against Pirin Blagoevgrad. The result of the match was 1:1 with a guest draw for Levski.

On 7 January 2010, Stanchev started training with Levski again. On 20 March 2010, he was in the starting line-up for Levski and played the full 90 minutes, earning praise for his performance in the 3:0 home win against Slavia Sofia. On 27 March 2010, he played in his first Eternal Derby against CSKA Sofia, but was withdrawn in the 39th minute after sustaining an injury.[2]

Pirin loan

On 2 August 2009, Stanchev was loaned out for one year to Pirin Blagoevgrad together with his team-mate Ivan Tsachev. However, after half a season, Stanchev returned to Levski. For Pirin he earned 10 appearances, playing in the A PFG.

Botev Plovdiv

On 28 June 2012, he signed a contract with Botev Plovdiv for 1+1 years. His first appearance in an official match came on 11 August 2012, in the 3:0 home win over Slavia Sofia. Stanchev had difficulties securing a starting spot for himself. In January he was released.
