Georgi Kakalov (Template:Lang-bg) (born 18 July 1984) is a football midfielder/striker from Bulgaria currently playing for Cherno More Varna.
Talented but bad-tempered player, permanently involved in scandals whether on the field, or off it. Kakalov, rather looking like a rock-star, long-haired, often loses his nerves in the ground as shows real "troglodyte" manners, cursing his rivals, spitting at them and punching them.
Due to the five red cards in row he got within just the semi-season 2006–07 Kakalov became the first player in the football history of Bulgaria who got a personal therapist attached to him by PFC Botev officials for helping Kakalov to resolve his problems with aggression.
