Igor Angelovski (Macedonian: Игор Ангеловски; born 2 June 1976) is a Macedonian professional football manager and former player.
Playing career
[edit | edit source]As player he played in the Slovenian First League with Publikum Celje between 1998 and 2000.[1] He also played with Makedonija Gjorce Petrov, Pelister, Cementarnica (twice) and Pobeda.[2]
Managerial career
[edit | edit source]In October 2015, Angelovski became the new manager of the Macedonia national team as a successor to Ljubinko Drulović who has left to the Serbian SuperLiga club Partizan.[3] Among the national team, to December 2015, Angelovski had coached Rabotnički in the Macedonian First League. During his time as national team manager for Macedonia, his 3-5-2 formation helped the side qualify for its first major tournament at Euro 2020 by winning the League D after finishing first in its League D group. Despite this, the new administration that took over in 2019 was intent on having their own manager, except that the team was successful. It eventually led to a scandal regarding Angelovski's tenure, as there were opportunities to allow him to continue given that he was without contract, but not formally told he wasn't to be renewed for several months. As such, he was a de facto manager with no games taking place during that time. Eventually Angelovski made it know that he would not be retained by the new administration, with the convenient performance at Euros a presumably justifiable cause for dismissal.[4][5] The situation revolving Angelovski was somewhat of a precursor to the departure of Stefan Ristovski in 2023, who was unhappy with the direction under Angelovski's replacement as head coach.
He was replaced at Croatian side Gorica by Željko Sopić in November 2022.[6] In April 2023, Angelovski became the new manager of Caspiy.[7]
