Club career
Born in Pleven, Barkanichkov has been a squad member of numerous clubs in the top division of Bulgarian football, most notably becoming champion of Bulgaria twice - in 2001 (with Levski Sofia)[2] and in 2004 (with Loko Plovdiv). In the mid to late 2000s, he also donned the shirt of teams from Poland.[1]
International career
In 2001, after having impressed Uzbek scouts during an Albena Cup match between Levski Sofia and Uzbekistan, Barkanichkov received a lucrative financial offer to represent the Central Asian country's national team, but refused it, as he was at the time on then manager of Bulgaria Stoycho Mladenov's radar. Eventually he never got to play international football, as he was plagued by injury problems during the year 2001.[1][3]
