Atlanto-Med/CM. Looks more Italian than Bulgarian IMO.

Why? He just plays in Italy, but is ethnic Bulgarian.

I just think his type is more common for Italy than for Bulgaria. Ivan Zaytsev for example, doesn't look Italian at all, though he plays for Italy too.

Ivan Zaytsev is Russian though, there's less overlap between Russian and Italians than Bulgarians.

Atlanto-Meds are dolichocephalic as a rule. This guy seems rather mesocephalic or I dare I say brachycephalic. Also adding the extra CM is not necessary as true Atlanto-Meds would already be robust by themselves. Atlanto-Med is basically an overgrown gracile med, taller, broader shouldered, larger skull (more dolichocephalic) and I think slightly lighter pigmentation as well. One assumption that can be made for his classification is Baskid (Atlanto-Med + Dinarid) which could explain his shorter skull. But the Dinarid element isn't really that strong. Another classification could be Atlanto-Med + Gracile Med. But since we know he's from Bulgaria. Pontid with some additional Cromagnid influence would be the best classification for him imo. :thumb001:
