Mitko Sabev Era, 2006-present
In the summer of 2005, the club was restored by the mayor of Burgas. Despite the protests of the former owner Ivaylo Drazhev, the new club was named OFC Chernomorets 919 and was named as a successor of the former FC Chernomorets. At the same time, Drazhev formed another club in the capital Sofia under the name PFC Chernomorets Burgas Sofia which only lasted one season and reached many anti-records.
After a one season stay in the amateur division, the club easily won the Bulgarian South-East V AFG with Dian Petkov as a head coach, finishing in the 1st place.
