The club finished in second place in the 1942 Bulgarian State Championship, and during this period, Simonovski played two matches for the Bulgarian national team with his birth name (as Kiril Simeonov). At the end of the war, Simonovski moved to Belgrade and signed with newly formed FK Partizan where he will play all the way until 1950, winning two national championships and one cup.
