Career as a coach

Braun-Bogdan's coaching career began as an active player in 1928. In 1933 he took part in courses at a football school in Folkestone , UK , and completed his coaching training at the Romanian football school ONEF in 1940. In the meantime, from 1934 onwards, he had already gained experience at Juventus Bucharest and Sportul Studențesc . With the latter club he even made it to Divizia A in 1937. In 1940 he ended his engagement with Juventus and moved to Divizia B to Jiul Petroșani , with whom he also succeeded in advancing to Divizia A in 1941. The interruption of gaming operations due to the Second World War meant that he could only reap the fruits of his labor five years later. After the first half of the 1946/47 season he moved to CFR Bucharest . This was partly due to the fact that he had been appointed to the national team's coaching staff several times since 1945. At that time, he was reassembled from international match to international match and Braun-Bogdan was a member of it a total of eight times until 1952. In the summer of 1947 he was the first to take over the training at the newly founded ASA Bucharest (later Steaua Bucharest ) club. During the winter break of the 1947/48 season he moved to Ciocanul Bucharest . This club merged at the end of the season with Unirea Tricolor MAY Bucharest to Dinamo Bucharest and Braun-Bogdan was also its first coach. In 1952 he took over Flamura Roşie UT Arad , with whom he won the national cup in 1953 and the championship in 1954. Four years later, Braun-Bogdan returned to the club, which had now been renamed UTA Arad , and coached it until 1960. He spent the 1962/63 season at Știința Timișoara before taking over UTA Arad for the last time and until the winter break of the 1964 / season. 65 trained. According to his own statement, Braun-Bogdan was also the coach of Gloria Arad and Victoria Cluj , probably before the Second World War.
