Club career

edit

Born in Prilep, SR Macedonia, back then within Yugoslavia, Gunev started playing in the local team FK Pobeda having played back then in the Yugoslav Second League. He became a prolific striker and in 1988 Serbian side FK Napredak Kruševac,[5] playing in the Yugoslav First League, brought him. Despite Gunev's 10 goals, Napredak finished the season in relegation zone and thus played the next season in the Second League. In 1990 Gunev joined Macedonian side FK Vardar also playing in Second League.[4] In the season 1991–92 Yugoslavia started breaking-up and Vardar was promoted. Gunev was Vardar's top-scorer that season with 8 goals.[6] Gunev then returned to Napredak and played in the 1992–93 First League of FR Yugoslavia[7] having scored 7 goals in the league that season.[8] Gunev was referred to at the 68th anniversary of Napredak as one of the most prolific strikers in the history of the club.[3]

In summer 1993 he moves to Cyprus and plays two seasons there, he only played one UEFA Cup game for APOEL FC against Bangor and then proceeded playing with newly-promoted Omonia Aradippou.[9]
