Career
societies
Adrian Mutu began his professional career in 1997 at FC Argeş Piteşti , for whom he had already played in his youth. In the following two years he scored eleven goals in 41 games in Divizia A, the highest Romanian league, and also provided many assists, which is why he was quickly seen by many in his home country as the upcoming successor to Gheorghe Hagi . In 1999 the Romanian moved to the capital club Dinamo Bucharest , for which he scored 22 goals in 33 league games in 1999/2000 and thus had a significant share in winning the Romanian Championship and the Cup .
In 2000, at the age of 21, Adrian Mutu moved from Dinamo Bucharest to Inter Milan for the equivalent of just under six million euros . There he was initially unable to assert himself and finally ended up at AC Parma in 2002 , where he made his breakthrough. He formed the storm there with the future Brazilian international striker Adriano .
In 2003 the traditional English club FC Chelsea paid him over 22 million euros (making him the most expensive Romanian football player). Mutu was found to be using cocaine here and was banned from any official game for seven months.
Nevertheless, the Italian record champions Juventus Turin signed him in January 2005 . After serving his suspension, he was used in the last game of the season against US Cagliari and was able to celebrate winning the Italian championship with Juve , which was later withdrawn. In the 2005/06 season , the trained striker Mutu was often used as a midfielder (right and left flank) by coach Fabio Capello , performed well and did not lose his goal instinct. The team won the Scudetto again . After the season Juventus but were both titles because of involvement in the fraud trial disallowed and the club had its way into the Series B compete. Adrian Mutu was then sold to AC Florence , in return the Bulgarian Valeri Boschinow switched to Juve on loan .
In the 2006/07 season Mutu was with 16 league goals together with Luca Toni the most successful goalscorer of the Fiorentines and advanced to a leading figure. In 2007/08, the Romanian scored 17 goals in 29 Serie A games for Fiorentina and led the team to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup with six goals .
In 2009, the CAS confirmed a ruling by FIFA that Mutu had to pay Chelsea FC compensation of around 17.2 million euros for cocaine use . If Mutu is unable to pay the compensation, they face a life ban from FIFA.
On January 10 and 20, 2010, Mutu tested positive for doping again. The prohibited substance sibutramine was found in his blood, which was contained in a laxative he had taken. The Anti-Doping Court of the National Olympic Committee of Italy CONI sentenced him on April 19, 2010 to a total of nine months in suspension, which was valid until the end of October 2010. Fiorentina then cut his salary by 50 percent for this time. On October 31, 2010, his club put him back for the first time after the ban, but suspended him in early 2011 for disciplinary reasons, he had left the training session without permission, again, this time for good, according to media reports. Mutu should be sold to another club immediately. After Mutu apologized, the club pardoned him in early February 2011.
In June 2011 Mutu signed a two-year contract with AC Cesena with an option for one more season.
In August 2012 Mutu moved to the French first division club AC Ajaccio . There he finished the 2012/13 season in 17th place and thus managed to stay in class. At the beginning of 2014 he returned to Petrolul Ploieşti in his home country. There he became the captain of the team, but missed a few games due to injury in the second half . Then he played at ASA Târgu Mureş . In 2016, Mutu announced his resignation.
National team
Adrian Mutu was a regular in the Romanian national team . Among other things, he scored the 1000th goal of the Romanian selection (on August 17, 2005 against Andorra ). For the European Championship 2008 in Austria and Switzerland Mutu was in the Romanian squad and thus took part in a major tournament for the second time after the European Championship 2000 . In the second round match against Italy, he first scored a goal and failed in the 82nd minute with a penalty kick against the Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon .
After a break of one and a half years, Mutu returned to the national team in March 2011 and celebrated his comeback in the European Championship qualifier against Bosnia-Herzegovina . Three days later he scored his international goals number 30 and 31, drawing level on goals with Iuliu Bodola , making him the national player with the most goalscoring behind Gheorghe Hagi .
After Mutu had illegally left the team hotel in Rimini two days before the friendly against San Marino with teammate Gabriel Tamaş , he was excluded from the Romanian national team on August 11, 2011.
Mutu was reassigned to the Romanian national team in September 2011. Since his goal against Hungary on March 22, 2013, he and Gheorghe Hagi have been Romania's top scorer.
Litigation
After his first positive doping test, Mutu was fired from Chelsea in 2004. The club demanded damages of around 17 million euros from him.
