'''Kamandag''' (Virus) is an upcoming [[GMA Network]] fantasy [[Philippine drama]], from the creation of [[Carlo J. Caparas]] starring [[Richard Gutierrez]].

'''Hristo Stoichkov''' alternatively spelt '''Stoitchkov''' ({{lang-bg|Христо Стоичков}}) (born [[February 8]], [[1966]], in [[Plovdiv]], [[Bulgaria]]) is a [[football (soccer)|football]] manager and former [[striker]] who was a member of the [[Bulgaria national football team|Bulgaria national team]] that finished fourth at the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]]. Apart from his footballing talent, he was notable for his on-pitch temper. He was honoured as [[European Footballer of the Year]] in 1994. He was named by [[Pelé]] as one of the [[FIFA 100|125 Greatest Living Footballers]] at a [[FIFA]] Awards Ceremony in 2004.

Not much is known about this series, it is known that this will be [[Richard Gutierrez]]'s next show after his current series [[Lupin (Philippine TV series)|Lupin]].<ref>[http://www.abante-tonite.com/issue/feb0507/showbiz_al.htm GMA 7, siksik sa mga pasabog], '' mb.com.ph'', n.d. Accessed last May 14, 2007.</ref> This will also be Gutirrez's second role based on a comic book superhero, his first was playing the lead and title role in [[Captain Barbell (TV series)|Captain Barbell]].

== Playing style ==

Stoitchkov played as a left attacker/winger. He was known for his explosive acceleration and speed dribbling, and for taking unpredictable shots on goal. He was also notable at taking [[free kick]]s and [[Penalty kick|penalties]]. He gained much popularity because of his aggressive temper on the pitch. He could often be seen arguing with the referee, or with his opponents. He is currently being sued by a former [[American University]] college student,Freddy Llerena, whose leg he broke in a violent tackle. The student's coach called Stoitchkov's challenge "criminal". [[Ray Hudson]], who coached United for whom Stoichkov played at the time, called it a "rash tackle". Following an investigation by [[Major League Soccer|MLS]], Stoitchkov was suspended two games and fined $2,000..<ref>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/26/AR2007022601339_pf.html Player Hurt in United Scrimmage in '03 Seeks Damages]</ref>

== Club career ==

Stoichkov began his career in his hometown, moving to Hebros (Harmanli) in 1984. The next year he went to [[CSKA Sofia]]. There he was involved in a fight during the final of [[Bulgarian Cup]] which resulted in his [[CSKA Sofia#Disbanded|suspension]]. After he was brought back to football, he managed to win the European Golden Boot with CSKA by scoring 38 goals in 30 games. He then moved on to [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]], [[Parma F.C.|Parma]], and finally finishing his career in [[Japan]] with [[Kashiwa Reysol]] and the [[United States]] with the [[Chicago Fire (soccer)|Chicago Fire]] and [[D.C. United]], as a coach.

===Barcelona===

As part of [[Johan Cruijff]]'s 'Dream Team', Stoichkov helped Barcelona to the most successful era of the club, winning the Primera Division four years in a row between 1991 and 1994 and the [[UEFA Champions League]] after defeating [[Sampdoria]] in 1992.

In his first season with the club Stoichkov was suspended for two months for stamping on a referee's foot,<ref>[http://www.theherald.co.uk/mostpopular.var.1330132.mostviewed.the_singular_genius_of_the_mad_boy_hristo.php The singular genius of the mad boy Hristo]</ref> but he still netted 14 league goals and six more in the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]].

In 1994 he was named European Footballer of the Year after leading his national side to the [[1994 World Cup]] semifinals.

In 1997 he helped Barcelona win the [[Spanish Super Cup]], [[Copa del Rey]] and the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup 1996-97| UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]].

==Cast and Characters==

== National team ==

*[[Richard Gutierrez]] as Kamandag

At the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]], Stoichkov was awarded the [[World Cup Golden Boot|Golden Boot]] as the joint top goal scorer of the tournament (with [[Oleg Salenko]]), with six goals. He led [[Bulgaria national football team|Bulgaria]] past [[Germany national football team|Germany]] side to the semifinals, where they lost 1-2 against Italy. They subsequently lost the 3rd/4th place playoff to [[Sweden national football team|Sweden]], 4-0.

*[[Maxene Magdalona]]

Bulgaria finished second in the qualifying group for [[Euro 96]] after the first place was taken by the eventual winners Germany. Stoichkov scored 10 goals for his team during the qualifiers, as Bulgaria qualified as one of the best 6 runners-up. In the first match against Germany in Sofia 3-2, Bulgaria were down 0-2 at half-time. Stoichkov equalized with two goals from penalties and [[Emil Kostadinov]] also scored for a 3-2 win. Bulgaria lost the second match in Germany 3-1.

During the finals, Bulgaria lost 1-3 in the decisive group match against a very strong France side (the future World Champions); at the same time, in the other match, Spain won 2-1 late on against Romania and so the Bulgarians went out. In that tournament Stoichkov scored 3 goals in 3 matches, and another goal against Spain was disallowed. Stoitchkov was the only player to score from a free kick (against France) in this tournament.

He was also part of the squad that was eliminated in the first round of the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]]. Bulgaria wasn't nearly as strong as in previous years, and scored only one goal in the tournament (by [[Emil Kostadinov|Kostadinov]]), in a 6-1 defeat by Spain.

Stoichkov retired from internationals in 1999 with 37 goals in 83 appearances. Subsequently he was the coach of the Bulgarian national team from 2003 to [[April]] [[2007]].

== Coaching career ==

In the [[2003]]-[[2004|04]] season, Stoichkov started a coaching career, serving as a forwards coach at Barça. After Bulgarian national team coach [[Plamen Markov]] resigned in the wake of the team's first-round exit from [[2004 UEFA European Football Championship|Euro 2004]], the [[Bulgarian Football Union]] named him as the new national team coach on [[15 July]].

Stoichkov's coaching career got off to a bad start with him failing to qualify the Bulgarian national team for the 2006 World Cup in Germany. He brought his bad temper from his career as a player to the coaching bench. A couple of proven players quit the team due to personal differences with Stoichkov. The most notable scandal was at the 03/09/05 game against Sweden, where he was sent-off for insulting the referee.

The biggest blow to Hristo Stoichkov as a coach of the national team of Bulgaria came on 12/10/2006, when [[Stiliyan Petrov]], the [[captain]] of the team, announced he will not play for the team as long as Stoichkov is the coach. <ref>[http://www.uefa.com/competitions/EURO/news/Kind=1/newsId=466913.html Petrov steps back from Bulgaria]</ref> Petrov is the third player and the second captain in two years to leave the team because of differences with Stoichkov. However, on 17/03/2007 [[Stiliyan Petrov]] announced that he had a private conversation with Stoichkov, in which they were able to work their differences out. As a result Petrov would return to the team. <ref>[http://www.uefa.com/competitions/euro/news/kind=1/newsid=517486.html Petrov returns to Bulgaria fold]</ref>

On April 10, 2007, the [[Bulgarian Football Union]] announced they had accepted the resignation of Hristo Stoichkov from the post of national coach. That was as a result of the poor performance of the team at the current Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, followed by widely spread criticism and debate over the qualities of the coach. He has since taken over as Manager at [[Celta de Vigo]].<ref>[http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=460032&CPID=23&clid=176&lid=2&title=Stoichkov+opts+for+Celta&channel=football_home& Stoichkov opts for Celta]</ref>
