As a professional footballer, Genchev has 70 appearances for Levski (Sofia), in which he scored seven goals and provided three assists. He also played for Litex (Lovech), Ludogorets (Razgrad), Slavia (Sofia), Cherno More (Varna), Etar (Veliko Tarnovo) in Bulgaria, for FC Vaslui in Romania, and AEL Limassol in Cyprus. Genchev also has five appearances and one goal for Bulgaria’s national football team.

In his coaching career, Genchev won two Bulgarian league titles with Ludogorets (as a caretaker manager) in 2020 and 2021. Under his management, newly promoted FC Krumovgrad finished 6th in the league table in the 2023/2024 season.
