Career
In his career Stoilov played for Pirin Blagoevgrad, CSKA Sofia, Dobrudzha Dobrich and Litex Lovech. Stoilov also had a spell with 1. FC Nürnberg in the German Fußball-Bundesliga.
He was in the Bulgarian squad at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, although he did not play in any games.
On 14 November 2002, Stoilov (who was at the time the captain of Litex Lovech and was suffering from a broken foot, sustained after a challenge in a game against CSKA Sofia) was seriously wounded after being shot by former army serviceman Simeon Mechev, following a traffic dispute. Stoilov managed to recover after extensive treatment, but the incident effectively spelt the end of his playing career. The culprit was originally to spend 10 years in prison, but his sentence was eventually reduced to 6 years. Mechev was released from jail in August 2011 after remaining behind bars for approximately four years.
Following his retirement, Stoilov became part of the organizational management of Litex Lovech.
