Ionel "Oneață" Augustin (born October 11, 1955 in Bucharest ) is a former Romanian football player and current coach . He completed 383 games in the highest Romanian football league, the Divizia A . He also took part in the European Football Championship in 1984 .

Player career

Augustin started playing football at Dinamo Bucharest at the age of ten . After going through all youth teams, he moved up to the first team in 1974. On April 23, 1975 he made his debut in the highest Romanian football league, Divizia A, when he beat Chimia Râmnicu Vâlcea . Augustin won the championship with Dinamo in his first season. But since he was only used once in the second half of the season in the following season, he moved to league rivals Jiul Petroşani to collect match practice.

In 1977 Augustin returned to Dinamo and made the leap to become a regular. With Dinamo he was able to win the championship again in 1982, 1983 and 1984. In 1984 he achieved his greatest success on an international level by reaching the semi-finals in the European Cup , in the same year he finished second on the Romanian goalscorer list behind Marcel Coraş .

In the winter break of the 1985/86 season Augustin moved to league rivals AS Victoria Bucharest , which had emerged from the second team from Dinamo. Here Augustin was one of those players with whom the club achieved the greatest successes in its history with two third places in the 1986/87 and 1987/88 seasons , before it was forcibly dissolved a year later due to numerous match-fixing. However, Augustin had already left Victoria in 1988 and moved to Rapid Bucharest , which he left again during the winter break. He joined Chimia Râmnicu Vâlcea, who fought for promotion in Divizia B and only narrowly failed. In 1989 he moved to the second division club Unirea Slobozia , where he ended his career in 1990. He scored 10 goals in 33 European Cup games.

National team

Augustin played a total of 34 games for the Romanian national soccer team , but scored only three goals. He made his debut on December 13, 1978 against Greece . Only under national coach Mircea Lucescu was Augustin a regular player in 1982 and 1983, otherwise he did not get beyond occasional appearances. Lucescu nominated him for the 1984 European Football Championship in France, where he was substituted on for Rodion Cămătaru in the game against Portugal . Furthermore, Augustin completed 8 international matches without scoring for the Romanian U21 national team.

Coaching career

Augustin was hired as a youth coach after his active career at Dinamo Bucharest. From November 1995 to February 1996 he was interim coach of the first team in Divizia A. After coaching some of the Romanian youth national teams, he took over the second division ARO Câmpulung Muscel for four and a half years from 1997 , with whom he achieved some notable placements before the club in 2004 relegated to Divizia C and was then dissolved. However, Augustin had previously left the club in the direction of Dacia Unirea Brăila and after a strong second half of 2002/03 in Divizia B, he moved from there to Gloria Buzău in the summer of 2003 . At Gloria, however, he resigned after only three months in October 2003 and another interlude at Dinamo Bucharest as a youth coach followed. He then took over the coaching position at Unirea Focşani in July 2004 and returned to the Romanian U17 national team in 2005 as assistant coach to Marian Bucurescu . In the summer of 2006 he was coached at Juventus Colentina Bucharest in Liga III , where he was dismissed in early July 2007 after missing promotion in the playoffs. On August 30, 2007 he moved to the newly promoted CSM Focșani in the Liga II . There he quit, however, on December 7, 2007 after three months of activity in order to sign a contract as assistant coach for the second team from Dinamo Bucharest playing in Liga II on December 18, 2007 after Cornel Țălnar was promoted to head coach of the first team had been.

In the summer of 2009 Augustin returned to Liga III to Juventus Colentina Bucharest. He managed to lead the club to the top of the third season at the end of the first half of the season. On January 17, 2010 he left the club for personal reasons and returned to Dinamo II Bucharest in the Liga II.

At the beginning of July 2010 Augustin took over the second division team from Minerul Lupeni . After six match days, the club withdrew from the championship in October 2010 and disbanded. Augustin then announced that he would return to the coaching staff of Dinamo Bucharest, but instead hired in November 2010 in Liga III with the eleventh-placed team in the second season, Phoenix Ulmu . Two months later, in January 2011, he moved to CS Buftea , who had occupied ninth place in the third season of League III after the first half of the season. From July 2011 he coached the third division club Viitorul Chirnogi , after he was allowed to buy the right to start in this division for the fourth time. At the beginning of January 2012 Augustin dissolved his contract in Chirnogi and left the coaching position to his previous assistant Adrian Cristea.
