Atanas Atanasov - Orela (Bulgarian: Атанас Атанасов - Орела; born 16 March 1969) is a former Bulgarian footballer and currently manager of Dobrudzha.[1]

In 2015, he and other Spartak Varna legends founded FC Spartak Varna.

On 20 April 2017 he was announced as manager of Montana.[2] He couldn't save the team from relegation as Montana was eliminated in the final relegation play-off by Septemvri Sofia. He left the club in June 2017, after his contract expired.[3]
