Career
Pirin Blagoevgrad
Born in Novo Delchevo, near to Sandanski, Karachanakov progressed through Pirin Blagoevgrad's youth system, having joined the club at the age of 14 in 2006.[1]
He made his first team debut on 26 February 2011 in a 1–0 A PFG loss against Cherno More, coming on as a substitute for Anton Kostadinov. On 12 March, he scored his first goal in his first start, netting Pirin's only goal in their 2–1 loss against Litex Lovech.
Karachanakov finished the 2010–11 season with 16 appearances and four goals in all competitions, helping Pirin to secure their status in the top-flight of Bulgarian football league system. Finally, Pirin was relegated to fourth division, after the license necessary to play in the A PFG was denied by Bulgarian Football Federation.
CSKA Sofia
On 18 June 2011, Karachanakov joined CSKA Sofia on a free transfer.[2] He scored his first A PFG goal for CSKA on 22 March 2012, in the 4:0 home win over Loko Sofia.[3] In mid February 2013, he sustained an injury and was ruled out until the end of the A PFG season.
International career
His first goal for the Bulgarian U21 squad came in his second match on 29 February 2012 as he scored the only goal in a 1–0 friendly win against Poland U21.[4]
