[edit] PSV Eindhoven

On 25 July 2009, Manolev signed a 3+2 years contract with the Dutch club PSV Eindhoven[1] for a transfer fee of 3,1 million.[2]

On 6 August 2009, Manolev made his official debut for PSV Eindhoven. He was selected as a starter against Bulgarian side Cherno More in the UEFA Europa League 3rd qualification round. Unluckily for him he was sent off for a second bookable offense in the 44th minute of the game, but his team went on to repeat its 1–0 win from the first leg.[3] On 9 August 2009, Manolev made his full debut for PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie. He played 69 minutes before being substituted for Jan Kromkamp, assisting Balázs Dzsudzsák's equalizing goal and earning himself a booking.[4] On 16 August 2009, Manolev played the full 90 minutes of PSV's 4–3 home win against AFC Ajax and assisted Otman Bakkal's decisive goal in the 75th minute of the game.[5] On 23 August 2009, Manolev had another fine display, assisting two PSV goals in the 3–1 home win against NAC Breda.[6] On 12 September 2009, he scored his first goal in the 3–0 home win against Roda JC. Consequently, he was selected in the ideal team of the week. He is already renowned for his impressive stamina and attacking impulses.

On 28 October 2009, Manolev scored his second goal for PSV against Roda JC for a match from the KNVB Cup. On 14 April 2010, Stanislav scored his second league goal in the 2–2 draw with Heerenveen.

In May 2010, after his first season with PSV, English newspaper The Guardian ranked Manolev among Europe's top 50 transfer targets in an online publication, citing his impressive performances on the right flank.[7]

In August 2008, the Bulgarian national coach Plamen Markov called Stanislav in Bulgaria national football team in a match against Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team. Manolev made his official debut and Bulgaria won the match as a guest. Manolev was a part of the Bulgaria national football team in the World Cup 2010 qualifiers against Italy and Montenegro, but remained an unused substitute.
