Dorin "Mateo" Mateuț (born August 5, 1965 in Bogata-Curtuiuş , Cluj County ) is a former Romanian football player . In 1989 Mateuț won the Golden Boot as Europe's top scorer. He took part in the 1990 World Cup.

Career as a player

Dorin Mateuț began his career at CS Hunedoara in 1978 and joined the youth team at Corvinul Hunedoara two years later . On October 14, 1981 he made his first team debut in the highest Romanian football league when he played against FC Olt Scorniceşti at the age of 16. In the 1982/83 season he made the leap to a regular at Corvinul and the club made it to the second round of the UEFA Cup. To give his career a further boost, Mateuț moved to Dinamo Bucharest during the winter break in 1986/87 . 1989 and 1990 were the most successful of his career there. In the 1988/89 season Mateuț was the top scorer in Divizia A with 43 goals and at the same time winner of the Golden Shoe for Europe's most successful goalscorer. In the following season Mateuț won the Romanian Championship and the Romanian Cup with Dinamo, ending the winning streak of Steaua Bucharest . In the same season he reached the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup .

After the football World Cup in 1990 , Mateuț moved abroad in September 1990 - like many Romanian national players before that. After an initially agreed move to FC Barcelona did not materialize, he joined Real Saragossa from the Spanish Primera División for a transfer fee of 600,000  US dollars . After changing successes, Mateuț was hardly considered in Saragossa at the beginning of the 1992/93 season, so that he decided to move to the Italian Serie A at Brescia Calcio during the winter break . After he was only used a little here, Mateuț switched to league rivals AC Reggiana , but could not build on his earlier performances - also due to a meniscus tear .

In the winter break of the 1994/95 season, Mateuț therefore returned to Romania and played for his former club Dinamo Bucharest from then on, before moving to Sportul Studențesc after just one year and ending his career there in the winter break of the 1995/96 season. He had a total of 12 goals in 23 European Cup games and 147 goals in 374 games in the top three leagues of Romania, Spain and Italy.

National team

In 1983 Mateuț took part in the U-18 European Football Championship in England with Romania . He made his debut in the Romanian national soccer team on February 7, 1984 against Algeria , but was not nominated by national coach Mircea Lucescu for the 1984 European soccer championship in France. Instead, he took part in the 1990 World Cup in Italy and played a game. In 1991 Mateuț ended his international career. He played a total of 56 international matches in which he scored 10 goals. There is also a game in Romania's U21 national football team.

Career as a coach

After his active career, Mateuț first tried his hand at business and acquired several properties. Between 2004 and 2006 he assisted Ioan Andone as assistant coach at Dinamo Bucharest and was once a Romanian cup winner during this time. From December 2006 Mateuț attended the coaching school in Bucharest to acquire a valid coaching license. Despite passing the exam, he turned his back on football and opened a bar in September 13 , a district in Sector 5 of Bucharest . It later became quiet around him until his alcoholic illness became public knowledge in August 2010 .

In September 2013 Mateuț was again assistant coach at Dinamo under the new head coach Flavius ​​Stoican . After his release in November 2014, he remained in the same position under interim coach Ionel Dănciulescu . In December 2014, his contract was terminated.
