Florea "Florică" "Mopsul" Dumitrache (born May 22, 1948 in Bucharest ; † April 26, 2007 ibid) was a Romanian football player . He was twice Romania's player of the year and completed 357 games in the highest Romanian football league, the Divizia A . He also took part in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico.
Career
Florea Dumitrache started playing football in his hometown of Bucharest at Rapid . After a detour via TUG Bucharest, he landed at Dinamo in 1964 on the recommendation of his trainer Traian Ionescu . There he came to the first team in 1965 and played his first game in Divizia A on May 2, 1966 against Dinamo Piteşti . After he had initially received little attention, his career rose sharply in the 1967/68 season when he became a regular and was appointed to the national team for the first time. With Dinamo Dumitrache won three championships, a cup and was twice top scorer. In 1968 and 1969 he was voted Romania's Footballer of the Year twice.
In 1976, Dumitrache left Dinamo after his goal haul had been greatly reduced in previous years and joined league rivals Jiul Petroșani . There he was able to build on old strengths and was the second best goalscorer behind Dudu Georgescu in the 1976/77 season . But even at Jiul his performance decreased and led to the fact that the team only narrowly escaped relegation at the end of the 1978/79 season. Dumitrache then decided to move again to Corvinul Hunedoara , who tried a fresh start with Mircea Lucescu in Divizia B. After being promoted in 1980, he experienced Corvinul's most successful period in the early 1980s, but no longer excelled as the goalscorer he used to be. In the 1982/83 season he increased the number of his European Cup appearances one last time to 20 games and his goal account to 8. The last four league games he acted as player-coach . During the first half of the 1983/84 season he returned to Petroșani, but played for the lower class club Minerul Știința, where he ended his career in 1984.
In 2001 his friend and former teammate Cornel Dinu brought him to Dinamo Bucharest's youth coaching staff.
National team
Dumitrache completed 31 games for the Romanian national soccer team and scored 15 goals. He made his debut on June 5, 1968 against the Netherlands . At the Football World Cup in Mexico in 1970 , national coach Angelo Niculescu used him in all three games and Dumitrache scored two goals. Furthermore, Dumitrache played 10 games for the U23 national team of Romania, in which he scored three goals.

An operation on April 10th did not have the desired effect. He died in hospital two weeks after the operation.
