ADRIAN MUTU

Adrian Mutu has been named as the manager of Dinamo Bucharest to the surprise of many football pundits.

The player who has had a tumultuous career as a player has now the chance to make a name for himself as a manager.

The player has retired from football in May after spending 19 years in the footballing world. Adrian Mutu played for Dinamo Bucharest for two years from 1999 to 2000 where he managed to make 42 appearances for the club and scored 29 goals during the process.

The club’s majority owner said that it an exciting time for the club to have someone as Adrian Mutu at the head of the club.

Anghel lordanescu says if he had the choice, there was not a chance of him picking Les Blues out of all the teams for Romania’s opening encounter, but, now that such has been the programme, he would want to have a positive perspective and see it as an opportunity for Romania to shine in a match which would be viewed in each and every corner of the world.

Iordanescu is drawing the heart from the fact that his team had a goalless draw versus Spain recently and Spain’s playing style resembles to that of France in the sense that they also believe in possession play.

According to Iordanescu, the strong point of Romania is that the organisation of the defence is solid and goals are always tough to come by for the opposition and also, discipline-wise, his players are very good. Whatever strategy is discussed and finalized in the preparations, it is well-remembered and nobody really errs from that too often.

Iordanescu reckons that the match versus Albania; which is going to be the last preliminary-round match for Romania, is crucial because it is scheduled at the end and at that time, various qualification equations would be forming. (more…)
