After 45 first division games and 5 goals for Brașov, he moved to Steaua Bucharest in 1983 , for which he scored 98 goals in 357 games in the jersey of the blue-reds, 13 of them in his first season at Steaua. In 1990 AC Florence noticed him and brought him to Italy for 1.5 million dollars. A year later he moved to Real Oviedo for two years before returning to Steaua Bucharest, where he played until 1999 and was temporarily captain of the team. This was followed by a short time at FC Naional Bucharest in the 1999/2000 season. Then he ended his active career.

In total, he played 414 games in Divizia A and scored 103 goals there. With his tenth national championship title in 1998, he replaced the previous record holder Balázs Hoksary , who had won nine titles with his clubs by 1936.

Career as a coach

After his active career, Lăcătuș started his career as a coach at FC Național Bucharest , where he was replaced by Cosmin Olăroiu in January 2001 . He then became assistant coach of Mihai Stoichiță in the Panamanian national team . After returning to Romania, he was initially head coach of Oțelul Galați and FC Brașov . On February 26, 2004 Lăcătuş stood before a contract with Universitatea Craiova , but was rejected by the club's fans due to his past at Steaua. He then took over in March 2004 Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț , with whom he was relegated to Divizia B at the end of the 2003/04 season. On July 22, 2004 Lăcătuş signed a contract as assistant coach of the Romanian national team. In mid-December 2004 he agreed with Inter Gaz Bucharest from Divizia B on a commitment in the following year. In 2005 Lăcătuș became President of Steaua Bucharest , but gave up the post after a year, as he preferred to work on the square than in the office. From June 27, 2006 to October 1, 2007 he was coach of UTA Arad , from there he moved to the coaching position at Steaua Bucharest, where he replaced Massimo Pedrazzini on October 28, 2007 . In October 2008 he gave up this post after a 3: 5 defeat in the Champions League against Olympique Lyon , but replaced his successor Dorinel Munteanu in December 2008 and stayed with Steaua until May 2009. In September 2009 Lăcătuș signed a two-year contract as coach of FC Vaslui , which he quit after losing the cup final in May 2010 in order to move to his daughter in Spain in the summer of 2010. On September 27, 2010 Lăcătuş was again coach of Steaua Bucharest, on March 7, 2011 he resigned after the 3-0 home defeat to FC Braşov, however, and was replaced by Sorin Cârțu . On January 21, 2012 he was at FCM Târgu Mureș successor to Maurizio Trombetta , from whom the club had separated the day before. After three games without a win in the second half of the 2011/12 season , Lăcătuş was dismissed on March 18, 2012 and replaced by Ioan Sabău , who had already coached the team in the preliminary round.

Since October 2013 he has been in charge of second division CSMS Iași , with whom he rose to League 1 at the end of the season . At the end of August 2014 he was released there and replaced by Ionuț Chirilă .
