Georgi Kakalov (Bulgarian: Георги Какалов) (born July 18, 1984) is a football midfielder/striker from Bulgaria currently playing for PFC Botev Plovdiv.
Talented but bad-tampered player, permanently involved in scandals whether in the professional field i.e. during football games, or out of it, in his civil life. Kakalov, rather looking like a rock-star, long-haired, attractive, often loses his nerves in the ground as shows real "troglodyte" manners, cursing his rivals, spitting at them and punching them.
Due to the five red cards in row he got within just the semi-season 2006/07 Kakalov became the first player in the football history of Bulgaria who got a personal therapist attached to him by PFC Botev officials for helping Kakalov to resolve his problems with aggression.
[edit] Career
Kakalov started his career in home town Plovdiv, playing for the local team of Maritsa. 18-years old is gone to Litex, signing for fee of € 200,000. For two years in there, however, he played only 3 games. In season 2003/2004 Georgi is loaned to PFC Vidima-Rakovski, then to Belite orli. Between January 2005 and June 2005 Kakalov played for Spartak Pleven. Since the start of season 2005/2006 he has been playing for Botev Plovdiv.
[edit] International career
Kakalov debuted for Bulgaria national football team on 26 March 2008 against Finland.
