The 169 centimeter tall defensive midfielder began his career in 1963 at Confecția Bucharest and moved to Rapid Bucharest in 1964 , where he made his debut in Divizia A on March 10, 1968 against FC Argeş Piteşti . He stayed with Rapid until 1972 before going to local rivals Steaua Bucharest after winning the cup final . After two championship titles and two cup wins with the military club, he moved to Politehnica Timișoara in 1980 , with whom he was again in the cup final in 1981. 1982 Dumitru moved to Universitatea Craiova , but was there only in four championship games for use. He left the club in 1983 to spend the following season at the second division CFR Timişoara and then at UM Timişoara as a player-coach. In 1984 Dumitru returned to Politehnica Timișoara and changed during the winter break of the 1985/86 season as a player- coach to his old club Rapid Bucharest, where he played his last game in the first division on June 19, 1988. He has two goals in 27 European games.

National team

Dumitru completed 50 games for the Romanian national soccer team and scored 10 goals. He made his debut on February 9, 1970 against Peru . At the soccer World Cup in Mexico in 1970 , national coach Angelo Niculescu used him in all three games. Seven other international games, in which Dumitru scored two goals, were subsequently withdrawn by FIFA in 1999 because they had been played as part of the qualification for the Olympic Games . Furthermore, Dumitru played 7 games for the U23 national team of Romania, in which he scored no goal.

Coaching career

Dumitru gained his first experience as a coach in his role as a player-coach during the last few years of his active career. In 1988 Dumitru first tried to gain a foothold in the Federal Republic of Germany , where he had gone during a trip. The attempt to earn money with a furniture truck in the morning and as an amateur trainer in the lower leagues in the afternoon failed, however. Due to lack of money, Dumitru could not attend a training course at the German Sport University Cologne to acquire the coaching license and instead attended private soccer schools. In 1990 he therefore returned to Romania to work as a coach. With the support of his former teammate Cornel Dinu Dumitru took over FC Național Bucharest in 1994 , but where he had to resign in April 1995 after the 24th matchday. Following the 1994/95 season , he moved to the second division Jiul Petroșani , with whom he was promoted to Divizia A straight away. In the 1996/97 season he looked after Jiul on the first two match days and then moved to Rapid Bucharest, where he was released in March 1997. In 1998 he was a brief coach at AS Rocar Bucharest . In September 1998, he was suspended for six months after he assaulted the referee at Rocar's home game against FC Brașov . Dumitru used the professional ban in his own country to switch to Al-Jaish in Syria . With the club he became Syrian champion in 1999 and reached the final of the Arab Club Champions Cup and the Arab Club Cup Winners Cup in the same year. Subsequently, Dumitru moved to Saudi Arabia to Al-Tai Hail , with whom he was relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2000 season.

In November 2000 he moved to the second division to FCM Politehnica Iași , which he had to leave on April 1, 2001, however, as the club was bottom of the table. By the end of the 2000/01 season, he took over the league rivals Callatis Mangalia . When Gheorghe Hagi took over the Romanian national team as a coach shortly afterwards, Dumitru was appointed supervisor of the U19 national team in July 2001 and narrowly missed qualifying for the European Championship in Norway with his team . In 2002 he left the country again for Germany to train the association league club VfR Heilbronn in the 2002/03 season before moving to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia as a youth coach in the summer of 2003 . In the course of the same year Dumitru returned to Romania and became a youth coach at Rapid Bucharest.

In the winter break of the 2005/06 season, the relegation-threatened third division Argeşul Mihăileşti merged with the fourth division club CS Concordia Chiajna . Ion Dumitru took over the position of technical director at the new club in early 2006, whose third division team took up in the second half of the season under the name Concordia Chiajna - Mihăileşti and was only able to prevent relegation to the fourth division on the last match day. Before the start of the new season, the team from League IV was converted into a youth team and the team from League III was given the now vacant name Concordia Chiajna . Dumitru took over from Vasile Bârdeș as coach and in 2007 managed to get promoted to League II with the club . Ion Dumitru was then made an honorary citizen of the community Chiajna , to which his native village Roșu belongs, in November 2007 . After the eighth day of the second division season 2008/09 Ion Dumitru was replaced by Dumitru Bolborea as coach. He stayed with the club as technical director and took over the training again on October 5, 2009 after it was decided to demote acting coach Adrian Bumbescu to assistant coach. On April 6, 2010 the contract with Dumitru was terminated due to unsuccessfulness. He emigrated to Germany with his family to work in a friend's company. After this opportunity turned out to be financially unsuccessful and there were no other adequate earning opportunities for him, Dumitru returned to Romania with his wife and daughter. On January 11, 2011, he was coach of the second team of Steaua Bucharest in Liga II, with which he could only draw two in four championship games. Dumitru then resigned on March 30, 2011, but stayed with the club until summer 2011. Since then he has been working as a child and youth trainer at Concordia Chiajna.
