Who Is Dime Dimov? Scouting Bylis’ Well-Travelled Centre-Back
Who Is Dime Dimov? The Wandering Centre-Back Anchoring Bylis’ Defence
Scout Verdict
Born 25 July 1994 in Skopje, North Macedonia, Dime Dimov is a 1.84m centre-back whose career reads like a scouting atlas: North Macedonia’s top flight, Bulgaria’s First League with Lokomotiv Sofia, a spell in Indonesia’s Liga 1 with Persebaya Surabaya, and now Albania’s Kategoria Superiore with KF Bylis. At 32, he is not a development project — he is a short-term stability signing who brings game intelligence, multi-continent adaptability, and a calm head under pressure.

A 2025 spell in Indonesia with Persebaya Surabaya added another continent to his CV before he joined Bylis in 2026.

League Fit and Recruitment Notes
Dimov suits clubs seeking a low-cost, low-risk one-to-two season stabiliser rather than a rebuild piece — a profile mid-table Super Lig or lower-division sides across Europe often need mid-season. His multi-league adaptability record is itself a selling point for recruitment departments wary of transfer-window culture shock.
