Yordan Milchev Minev (Bulgarian Cyrillic: Йордан Милчев Минев; born 14 October 1980) is a Bulgarian footballer who currently plays for Ludogorets Razgrad and the Bulgarian national team as a defender.
Yordan Minev started his career in home town Pazardzhik for local team Hebar. Between 2001 and 2003, Minev played in PFC Belasitsa from Petrich. Then, from January 2004 until June 2004 he played in Rodopa from Smolyan. In 2005 he joined Botev Plovdiv.
In January 2009, Minev signed with CSKA Sofia. He gradually established himself as the first choice right back in the team after Luboslav Penev's appointment as manager. On 23 May 2009, Minev received a second yellow card in the redmen's match against Lokomotiv Sofia.
Minev was released from CSKA in March 2011, as he was unable to stake a claim to first choice defender status under head coach Milen Radukanov.
On 30 May 2011, Minev signed a contract with newly promoted Ludogorets Razgrad. He made his competitive debut for Ludogorets on 6 August, in a 0–0 home league draw against Lokomotiv Plovdiv. In his first season playing for Ludogorets, Minev made 28 appearances in the A group and ended the season winning his first league golden medal.
