Radoslav Aleksandrov Tsonev (Bulgarian: Радослав Александров Цонев; born on 29 April 1995) is a Bulgarian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Kazakhstan Premier League club FC Tobol. He is a twin brother of Borislav Tsonev.

Club career

Radoslav made his first team debut in a 3–0 league win over Montana on 27 May 2011, coming on as a substitute for Darko Tasevski. He signed his first professional contract with the club on 29 April 2013.[1]

Tsonev scored his first goal for Levski in the Eternal derby of Bulgarian football against CSKA Sofia on 21 April 2014.

On 25 January 2020, he joined Monopoli on loan for the rest of the 2019–20 season.[2]

In the summer of 2020, Tsonev along with his twin brother Borislav returned to Levski. He remained there for the following two seasons. During the first of these two seasons, the two brothers were the leaders of Levski, gaining somewhat of a cult status among fans due to their loyalty to the club in times of financial hardship. Following the appointment of Stanimir Stoilov in September 2021, Tsonev progressively lost his place in the starting eleven. During the spring phase of the 2021-22 season Tsonev featured rarely on the pitch. His contract was not renewed.

In August 2022, Tsonev returned to his boyhood club Pirin Blagoevgrad.

International career

He made his debut for the Bulgaria national football team on 12 October 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against the Northern Ireland.[3]
