Florin Halagian (born March 7, 1939 in Bucharest - † August 12, 2019 ) was a Romanian football player and coach . He was on the sidelines in more than 850 games of the highest Romanian football league, Divizia A.

Career

After he had ended his career as an active football player in 1969, Halagian began his career at the beginning of 1972 as the successor to Titus Ozon at FC Argeş Piteşti . After just six months, he led the club to the 1972 championship . In the subsequent European Cup , he and his team were eliminated in the second round against Real Madrid after winning the first leg 2-1. After a third place in 1972/73 , he could not build on these successes in the next few years and slipped with FC Argeș into midfield. He found back on the road to success in the 1977/78 season when he was able to win the runner-up behind Steaua Bucharest . A year later, his second title followed with the 1979 championship . In May 1979 he was allowed to coach the Romanian national team in the European Championship qualifier against Cyprus .

In the summer of 1981 Halagian left Argeş after almost ten years and took over the league rivals FC Olt Scorniceşti . With his new club, he just missed qualifying for the UEFA Cup in the 1981/82 season . In the following two seasons he placed in midfield. In the summer of 1984 he succeeded Emerich Jenei as head coach of the record champions Steaua Bucharest . In October 1984 it had to give way to its predecessor again. In the winter break of 1984/85 he signed league rivals FC Universitatea Craiova . He missed qualifying for the UEFA Cup and was replaced by his predecessor Mircea Rădulescu .

After four years, Halagian returned to FC Argeș in the summer of 1985. After eight match days, Leonte Ianovschi replaced him before he took over the scepter again during the winter break in 1985/86 . He led the club into upper midfield and knocked on the door of the UEFA Cup in the season 1986/87 , but missed this behind the tied teams Sportul Studențesc and Universitatea Craiova. The 1987/88 season ended in midfield. Then Halagian moved to AS Victoria Bucharest and took over the Romanian Olympic team. With Victoria he qualified for the 1989/90 UEFA Cup , where he and his team lost to Valencia CF in the first round .

After Victoria was dissolved as a result of the Romanian Revolution during the winter break of 1989/90 , Halagian remained without a club until the spring of 1991, before Dinamo Bucharest signed him as the successor to Gheorghe Mulțescu . He led the club into the UEFA Cup . A year later he won his third title with the 1992 championship . In October 1992 he had to give way to Alexandru Moldovan , whom he himself succeeded in May 1993. At the end of the season he reached the runner-up behind Steaua Bucharest. After a third place in 1993/94 , he left the club and hired the league rivals FC Inter Sibiu . The season 1994/95 he finished on a place in midfield and left Sibiu again.

At the end of September 1995, Halagian succeeded Marian Bondrea as head coach at FC Național Bucharest . He finished the 1995/96 season as runner-up behind Steaua Bucharest. He was able to repeat this success a year later . In October 1997 he left the club. Two months later, he was hired by league rivals FCM Bacau , who was on a relegation zone. After relegation in 1998 he qualified in the 1998/99 season with his club for the UI Cup , where he was eliminated in the first round against the Armenian representative FC Ararat Yerevan . The club then separated from him. At the end of August 1999, FC Argeş again brought him to Piteşti. During the winter break he left the club despite a second place to league rivals FC Brașov . This he led to relegation, in the summer of 2000 the ways parted again.

In September 2000, Halagian was the head coach of Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț . He took over the team in last place and made the connection to the non-relegation places until the winter break, but had to give way to Florin Marin for the winter break . In September 2001 he committed again to FC Argeș, which he took over in penultimate place and led to relegation in 2002 . At the beginning of the 2002/03 season , the club got back into the table basement and parted ways with Halagian after eight matchdays.

In the following years Halagian only occasionally jumped in for a few games as a coach. Since April 2011 he was the sporting director of Gloria Bistrița in the Liga II .
