Career
He has also played for Bulgarian teams of Spartak Pleven, Yantra and Hebar, French side Lille OSC[2] and Spanish teams Levante UD, Valladolid and Celta Vigo.

In the last match for the autumn period of the 2008-09 season against Lokomotiv Mezdra he recevied an injury in his knee ligaments, which prevented him from playing football for about 9 months. He was expected to be back in play for the next season. On 30 August 2009, Manchev scored the third goal in the 4:0 home win against Lokomotiv Mezdra in his first game back from injury after coming on as a substitute for Rui Miguel. Manchev is a CSKA Sofia's fans' favourite. Although he was injured most of the season 2008-09 in which he played only 4 matches, he scored 4 goals and made a few assists, so on 16 June 2009 it was said that in the next few days he will sign new contract which will make him CSKA player for the next two years. After all he signed a new one year contract on 24.07.2009. In the summer 2010 Manchev has transferred to Akademik Sofia.
