Ivaylo Bogdanov Petev (Bulgarian: Ивайло Петев; born 9 July 1975) is a retired Bulgarian football player and current manager of Dinamo Zagreb.
Petev previously played as a midfielder for Litex Lovech, Spartak Varna, Rodopa Smolyan and Marek Dupnitsa.
After a short spell at Lyubimets as a playing manager in 2009, Ivaylo Petev was appointed as head coach of Ludogorets Razgrad, following Kiril Domuschiev's purchase of the club. Petev managed to lead the team to a promotion to the top division of Bulgarian football, followed by two A Group titles (the first in the club's history), a Bulgarian Cup and a Bulgarian Supercup. On 21 July 2013, Ludogorets replaced him with Stoycho Stoev after poor performances against Lyubimets and Slovan Bratislava in the first leg of the Champions League qualifying rounds.
On 8 October 2013, Petev was appointed as the coach of Levski Sofia, which drew the ire of a number of Levski supporters (due to a presumed conflict of interest because of his previous managerial positions and clubs represented as a player) who pulled off a Levski Sofia shirt he was wearing, essentially forcing him to resign a day later.
