Nikolay Mikhailov (Bulgarian: Николай Михайлов) (born June 28, 1988 in Sofia) is a Bulgarian footballer. He is currently a substitute goalkeeper for Fiorentina and the Under21 Bulgaria national team.

Mikhailov's father is Borislav Mikhailov, the player with the most international appearances for Bulgaria. Mikhailov's poor performance in the last one year, particularly his blunder in the October 31, 2006, Champions League game against Werder Bremen, has provoked a negative campaign among Levski supporters who all too easily associate his career with protection from his father. He has been transfered to Fiorentina with a five year contract.

sounds like hes plays for florentina

Bulgaria's Nikolay Mihaylov Set to Sign for Liverpool


27 June 2007, Wednesday

Bulgarian goalkeeper Nikolay Mihaylov passed a medical exam at English Premier League side Liverpool and is set to sign a deal with the club.

"Nikolay had a medical and we are waiting for the results right now. If all goes well, he will sign a three-year deal, with an option to extend it for another two seasons," the player's father, Borislav Mihaylov told Darik News by phone from Liverpool.

"If the deal goes through, we will hold a press conference when we return tomorrow," Mihaylov-senior said.

Liverpool football club are yet to confirm the transfer on its website.

Nikolay Mihaylov, 19, started his career at Levski Sofia, for whom he has already played in 13 matches, with his debut coming when he was still a month short of his 17th birthday.

He was hailed early in his career as a dead cert future national team goalkeeper, where he would follow in the footsteps of his father Borislav and grandfather Bisser.

But his poor performances in the last season made him a figure of ridicule among Levski fans, who accused his father, now head of the Bulgarian Football Union, of nepotism.

His worst moment in a Levski shirt came in a Champions League game against Werder, when he failed to control a back-pass from a defender and turned the ball into his own net, then letting in two more goals in the space of five minutes.

He ended the season as Levski's third-string goalkeeper after falling out with manager Stanimir Stoilov over his flashy lifestyle and was reported to have signed a deal with Italian Serie A club Fiorentina.
