Costel Orac (born January 22, 1959 in Galați ) is a former Romanian football player and current coach . The striker played a total of 308 games in Divizia A , the highest Romanian football league.
Career as a player
Orac started his career in his hometown at Politehnica Galați. In 1971, at the age of twelve, he moved to FC Galați . There he moved up in 1976 in the squad of the first team, which was promoted to Divizia A that year and was now under the new name FCM Galați . He made his first division debut in the home defeat against Jiul Petroșani on August 22, 1976 at the age of 17 and established himself in his first season as a regular player, but could not prevent relegation in 1977 as a knocked-off bottom of the table. Two years later, the agile left winger returned with his team to the House of Lords, where relegation was initially achieved in the 1979/80 season before he had to relegate again at the end of the 1980/81 season .
Then Orac left his hometown and moved to the top club Dinamo Bucharest in the capital. Here, too, he established himself as a regular in the first year and was able to win his first title with the double from the championship and cup victory in 1982 . He was able to repeat the success in the championship with his team in the 1982/83 season . In 1984 he won the double again. The most successful season in the European Cup he reached with the semifinals in 1984 , when the club eliminated the defending champion Hamburger SV and was eliminated by the eventual winners Liverpool FC . In the following years, Orac and Dinamo dueled Steaua Bucharest for the Romanian number one, but mostly had to give way to the rival. In this phase he won only one title with the 1986 Cup when he was able to prevent the rival's triple .
After Orac was hardly used in the 1988/89 season , he moved in the summer of 1989 to the club's second team, which also played as AS Victoria Bucharest in the upper house. Here he came to only two missions in the first half of the season, before the club was dissolved by the new political leadership as a result of the Romanian revolution in the winter break of 1989/90 . Orac then moved up to Étoile Carouge in the Swiss National League B . After a year, he returned to Dinamo Bucharest at the beginning of the year. Half a year later he joined Unirea Focșani in Divizia B , where he ended his career in 1992.
National team
Orac played a total of three games for the Romanian national team between 1984 and 1986 . National coach Mircea Lucescu called him in July 1984 in his squad for an international trip to China, where he made his debut on July 29, 1984 against the hosts and scored his only goal. Orac could not convince Lucescu, however, because it was not until March 1986 that he was part of the squad for two friendlies against Iraq , where he played his last two internationals.
Career as a coach
After hanging up his boots remained master of sports his previous club, which in the season 1993/94 in Acord Focsani renamed, loyal as a coach. In 1994 he took over the league rivals FC Selena Bacau , which he achieved in 1995 the rise, while his former club in the Divizia C was relegated. In the winter break of the following season , the club, which was now under the name AS Bacau , was in last place in the table and parted ways with Orac. This moved during the second half of the season to the first Cypriot division to Alki Larnaka , where he stayed until autumn 1996. After returning to Romania, he was assistant coach of Adrian Hârlab at FC Brașov in Divizia B in the first half of the 1997/98 season . In the second half of the 1999/2000 season he coached the second division club FC Bihor Oradea , with whom he managed to stay relegated on the last day of the match. He then became the coach of Poiana Câmpina , which competed in the other second division season and acted as a satellite team for Dinamo Bucharest . However, Orac moved to the second division promoted FC Baia Mare during the 2000/01 season . With this he reached the relegation games at the end of the season, in which the team was able to prevail against NC Foresta Suceava . The club management sold the place to FCM Bacau for financial reasons , so that FC Baia Mare remained in Divizia B. In 2002 the club took part again in the play-offs for promotion, but failed to Farul Constanța . Orac then left the club in July 2002 in the direction of Oțelul Galați . At the end of the 2002/03 season Oțelul finished only 13th and had to compete in the relegation games against FC Oradea , the representative from Divizia B. Although the opponent prevailed, Oțelul was allowed to stay first class, as the two local rivals Astra Ploieşti and FC Petrolul Ploieşti merged in the summer of 2003 and a place in the House of Lords became free. In the 2003/04 season the club parted ways with him after the first half of the season .
On April 27, 2004 he took over from Florin Danciu at FC Botoșani in Divizia C , with whom he returned to Divizia B at the end of the season and managed to stay in the 2004/05 season . Then the league competitor Unirea Urziceni took him under contract, where he was promoted in 2006 . Once in the House of Lords, Unirea separated from him in September 2006 and replaced him with Dan Petrescu . After Marian Pană had left the second division club CS Otopeni in early 2007 , Orac was his successor on March 28, 2007. After the missed promotion to League 1 , he left the club in the summer of 2007 and was replaced by Liviu Ciobotariu . On November 3, 2007 Orac was signed as the successor to head coach Cristian Popovici by the second division club FCM Bacau , but could only get one win in seven championship games and was then replaced on March 16, 2008 by his predecessor.
In the 2008/09 season he was the successor of Emil Ursu as coach of the second team of Dinamo Bucharest , which played in League II . On June 24, 2009 he was hired by Dinamo as assistant coach to the Italian Dario Bonetti , but officially acted as head coach, as Bonetti did not yet have the necessary pro license. On October 3, 2009 Bonetti was released and Orac returned as the successor to Gheorghe Mihali as head coach to the second team of Dinamo in the Liga II. At the end of the 2009/10 season , relegation to League III was certain and Orac had to leave the coaching post to Ioan Viorel Ganea . On July 20, 2010, Costel Orac was appointed technical director of the second division club CS Concordia Chiajna and also replaced the previous head coach Laurențiu Diniță in mid-October 2010, after the 8th matchday of the 2010/11 season . During the winter break, a merger with the first division club Unirea Urziceni failed , whereupon Diniță had to intervene again as a player in the action. When the desired promotion was in danger, Orac was dismissed as a coach on May 5, 2011 and Diniță again took over the role of player-coach. At the end of the season, the club finished second in season 1 behind Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț and rose for the first time in the top division of the country. Since November 1, 2011, Orac has been the successor to Marius Popescu as head coach of FC Botoșani in Liga II. He had to vacate this post in September 2012.
