Corneliu "Papi" Papură (born September 5, 1973 in Craiova , Dolj district ) is a former Romanian football player and current coach. He played a total of 236 games in the Romanian Divizia A , 26 games in the French Division 1 , 25 games in the Israeli first division, the Ligat ha'Al and 17 games in the Chinese Super League . He also took part in the 1994 World Cup.

Player career

Papură started playing football in his hometown Craiova at Universitatea Craiova . In 1991 he moved up to the first team that had previously won the Romanian championship. His first appearance in the highest Romanian football league, Divizia A , he played on June 21, 1992 against Rapid Bucharest . Papură spent most of his career at Universitatea Craiova, where he was under contract four times. He became a regular player in the 1992/93 season and celebrated the greatest success of his career at the end of the season by winning the Romanian Cup.

After he had always played for the Romanian championship with Universitatea Craiova, he dared the leap abroad and in 1996 joined the French club Stade Rennes , which played in Division 1 . Papură became a regular player and managed to stay in the league. Due to an injury he was no longer used and moved back to Craiova during the 1998/99 season. Here he found his way back to his old strength. However, Universitatea Craiova was no longer one of the leading Romanian teams, but only fought to stay in the league. In May 2001 Gigi Nețoiu , the association's patron, dissolved the contracts with Corneliu Papură and Gabriel Popescu . The two players joined FC Național Bucharest , who was coached by their former teammate Cosmin Olăroiu .

In autumn 2001 Papură was loaned by FC Național to Beitar Jerusalem , where he made his debut on November 5, 2001 in the away game at Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Israeli first division. This stay abroad did not last long either, because he returned to Romania in May 2002, after keeping the league with Beitar. In July 2002 Papură signed again at Universitatea Craiova and became team captain there. During a training camp in July 2004, he fell out with coach Mircea Rednic , who then removed his captain's armband. After four match days of the 2004/05 season , Papură was loaned to AEL Limassol in late August 2004 in Cyprus . After Universitatea Craiova had slipped to the bottom of the table during the first half of the season, club president Pavel Badea took over the coaching position and brought Papură back from AEL Limassol in January 2005. But even with the support of only a victory could be won in the second half, so that all the players of the club received the release, as the descent into the Divizia B it was clear. Papură left Universitatea Craiova two game days before the end of the season and in July 2005 dared to move to China to the second-rate team Changchun Yatai FC. With this he succeeded in the ten outstanding championship games of promotion to the Chinese Super League . In the 2006 season he played for the Chinese second division team Guangzhou Pharmaceutical FC and returned to Romania at the end of the year. There he rejoined FC Național Bucharest for the second half of the 2006/07 season and ended his active career after the club was relegated from League 1 in May 2007.

Coaching career

On June 8, 2007, Corneliu Papură was appointed the new coach of FC Național, who changed his name to FC Progresul Bucharest before the start of the 2007/08 second division season . However, the engagement was terminated during the first half of the 2007/08 season. After the appointment of Ovidiu Stîngă to the sports director of Universitatea Craiova Papură was the end of November 2007 coach of Primăvara Craiova , the youth team of Universitatea playing in the fourth division, where he replaced Dragoş Bon. After his half-year contract was not renewed in May 2008, Daniel Mogoşanu took over the coaching position at Primăvara and Papură began to work as a players agent . In September 2009 Daniel Mogoşanu was dismissed as the coach of the first team of Universitatea Craiova and again took over the second team, which now went to League III under the name Primăvara Craiova . After six defeats in six league games, he was replaced on October 19, 2009 by Corneliu Papură. When Mark Wotte was the new coach of Universitatea Craiova in early January 2010 , Papură took over the duties of assistant coach and handed Primăvara Craiova over to his successor Petrişor Bondrea. After Wotte was dismissed in early May 2010, Papură also dissolved his contract. In July 2010 he took over the coaching position at Alro Slatina , a newcomer to Liga II , where he was supported by Daniel Mogoșanu as an assistant coach. After Alro was able to achieve only three draws in the first six league games of the 2011/12 season , Papură was dismissed on September 26, 2011 in the table penultimate and replaced by Mogoșanu. From October to December 2012 he was in charge of local rivals FC Olt Slatina .

In August 2013, Papură was initially a youth coach at CSU Craiova , and in early October 2013 Ovidiu Stîngă's assistant coach for the first team in League II. When Stîngă was dismissed in March 2014, his own employment relationship also ended.
