Player career

Iosif Rotariu started playing soccer in his hometown near Nera Prigor at the age of 14 . There he was trained by his father before he was a year later, in the 11 km distant Bozovici to Nera Bozovici changed. At the end of the 1977/78 season, the club's first team rose from Divizia C and coach Ion V. Ionescu brought Rotariu to Politehnica Timișoara a short time later . His first appearance in the highest Romanian football league, the Divizia A , he played on April 19, 1981, when he was used in the away game at Universitatea Craiova . From 1981 he completed his military service in Tulcea and played in the following season in Divizia B at Delta Tulcea , to return to Timișoara during the winter break of 1982/83 . This was followed by further missions in the 1982/83 season , at the end of which Politehnica was relegated to Divizia B. Thereafter Rotariu became a regular player and managed to rise again. After he could not prevent the relegation with Poli despite 10 goals scored in the 1985/86 season , Rotariu then moved to the newly crowned European Cup winner , Steaua Bucharest . There he had his most successful period until 1990, when he was three times Romanian champion and three times Romanian cup winner and in 1989 he was in the final of the European Cup .

In 1990 Rotariu - like many other strong Romanian players - moved abroad and joined the Turkish club Galatasaray Istanbul . There he won the Turkish Cup in 1991 . In 1992 Rotariu's career seemed to take a turn when he moved to Bakırköyspor within Turkey . There he was hardly used and could not prevent relegation in 1993. After a year in the second division, he returned to Romania in 1995 to try his luck as an entrepreneur . The businessman Sava Simcelescu († 1999) convinced Rotariu not to end his footballer career and instead to play for the CFR Timișoara in Divizia B, which he sponsored . There he was given the opportunity to return to Divizia A to his hometown club Politehnica Timișoara during the winter break in 1995/96 . At Politehnica Rotariu was able to build on previous performances despite his age of 34 years, so that the club finished seventh at the end of the season. Rotariu then moved to OFK Kikinda in the second division of Serbia and Montenegro , but returned to Timișoara after a short time. In the winter break of 1996/97 Steaua Bucharest signed him again and Rotariu completed a five-year break in the Romanian national football team . With Steaua he won the Romanian championship again in 1997 and 1998 and the Romanian Cup in 1997.

In 1998 Rotariu returned as a player-coach to Politehnica, which now played in Divizia B. During the winter break, however, he was obliged by FC Extensiv Craiova , who was on the way to Divizia A. After the promotion, Rotariu Extensiv had to leave during the winter break of 1999/2000 due to financial problems. He joined again Politehnica Timișoara, where he ended his career in 2000, but was active again in the 2001/02 season at the age of 39 for FC Bihor Oradea as a player-coach in Divizia B.
