Dumitru "Țiți" Dumitriu (born November 19, 1945 in Bucharest ) is a former Romanian football player and current coach . He played 167 games in the highest Romanian football league, Divizia A (today League 1 ). As a coach, he was able to win the Romanian championship four times.

Career as a player

After his youth at Rapid Bucharest Dumitriu moved in 1964 to ASA Sibiu and came to during the season 1964/65 Metalul Târgovişte , which at that time Romania in the second division, the Divizia B , took. A year later he moved to league rivals AS Armata Târgu Mureş , where he was promoted to the first division, Divizia A , in 1967 . He came there for his first assignment on August 20, 1967. After relegation at the end of the season , he moved to Steaua Bucharest , one of the best clubs in the country.

With Steaua Dumitriu was able to play for the Romanian championship, but not win it. Instead, he won the Romanian Cup three times in a row in 1969 , 1970 and 1971 . After he was no longer used regularly in the 1971/72 season , he left Steaua after four years and returned to his former club Rapid Bucharest. With Rapid, the season was only satisfactory in the European Cup .

In the summer of 1973 Dumitriu moved to Divizia B and joined Olimpia Satu Mare . Despite the rise, he was drawn a year later to league rivals FCM Galați , with whom he finished last at the end of the season . In 1975 he moved to Divizia C at ICSIM Bucharest , where he started as a player- coach and ended his career in 1977.

National team

Dumitru played an international match for the Romanian national soccer team on December 24, 1967 in a friendly against the Democratic Republic of the Congo .

Career as a coach

At the end of his active career, Dumitriu was already active as a player- coach at ICSIM Bucharest in Divizia C. In 1978 he came to the CS Botoșani , who had just been relegated to Divizia C , where he was immediately promoted again. After the march had just been missed in the following season, he took over the league rivals Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț in 1980 . Here he was able to place himself twice in the midfield of Divizia B and in 1982 moved to Autobuzul Bucharest , which also played in Divizia B. Again, two midfield spots jumped out before Dumitriu came in 1984 to the club Steaua Mizil , which had just been promoted to the same division . After two seasons in midfield, his contract was not extended. In 1987 he coached the third division club Rulmentul Bârlad .

Dumitriu temporarily retired from football until he completed a 45-day course in the Coverciano coaching school in 1990 . Then he took over the Romanian U-21 national team , which he looked after for a year. With his brief stint at Dacia Unirea Brăila Dumitriu helped the club in the 1991/92 season with 6th place for the best placement in the club's history. In 1992 he came to his former club Steaua Bucharest as an assistant coach under Anghel Iordănescu . Dumitriu followed Iordănescu a year later as an assistant coach to the Romanian national team . In the summer of 1994 he returned to Steaua and succeeded Emerich Jenei as head coach.

Dumitriu had his most successful time as a coach with Steaua. He won the Romanian championship in 1995 , 1996 and 1997 and the Romanian Cup in 1996 and 1997 . In the Champions League , the club reached the group stage, but were eliminated there.

After three years at Steaua, Dumitriu moved to Greece to AEK Athens in 1997 . There, however, he could not win a title and had to leave the club shortly before the end of the season a year later. After a stopover in Cyprus he trained Rapid Bucharest in March 1999 , where he replaced Mircea Lucescu, who had switched to Inter Milan for a short time . At the beginning of the 1999/2000 season he took over Oțelul Galați . After a ninth place at the end of the season, he moved to league rivals AS Rocar Bucharest . There he was relegated at the end of the 2000/01 season , but was able to record the greatest success in the club's history by reaching the cup final .

Dumitriu ventured again to Greece, where he took over Panionios Athens . A year later he moved back to Romania to FCM Bacău in the summer of 2002 , but was dismissed in October due to unsuccessfulness. After a short time as coach of Akratitos Ano Liosia , Dumitru briefly coached FC Oradea in Divizia A in the second half of the 2003/04 season . During his tenure, however, only a single point could be won in five league games, so that the club was relegated at the end of the season. After a short time at Politehnica AEK Timișoara from July to August 2004, Dumitriu was dismissed after two defeats in the first two league games. Towards the end of the 2004/05 season he took over Steaua Bucharest for three games as the successor to Walter Zenga and was able to celebrate his fourth championship.

Dumitriu then moved to the newly founded club FC Prefab 05 Modelu , initially as technical director and trainer. From 2007 until its dissolution in November 2008, he was then president of the second division. In early 2010 he took over training with the second team from Steaua Bucharest in League II , but in mid-April 2010 he accepted an offer from the first division. In his engagement at Politehnica Iași he succeeded in the last seven league games of the second half of the 2009/10 season but not a single win, which led to the club's relegation to League II and the dissolution of his contract.

Dumitriu became coordinator of the youth sector at Steaua Bucharest in September 2010. He got into the headlines when the youth coach Lucian Bălan, dismissed by him on September 13, 2010, attempted suicide on September 28, 2010 and then blamed this dismissal for it, as well as accusing Dumitriu of attempted match-fixing at the beginning of the 1994/95 season.
