Maximilian Nicu (born November 25, 1982 in Prien am Chiemsee ) is a former German - Romanian soccer player . The midfielder was a Romanian national player and played in the German Bundesliga for four seasons . He last played for SpVgg Unterhaching .
Career
In his youth, Maximilian Nicu played at TuS Prien , TSV 1860 Rosenheim and SpVgg Unterhaching . In 2002 he made the leap to the first team to play in the Regionalliga Süd with the Hachingen team . He played 23 games for the club in the 2002/03 season , in which he scored two goals.
The SpVgg Unterhaching rose in 2003 as Regionalliga-Südmeister in the 2nd Bundesliga , but then Nicu did not get a chance. Without having played a second division game, he moved back to the regional league for FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt in February 2004 . With the Thuringians he played 13 games in the second half of the season and again made it to the 2nd Bundesliga. However, he was not considered for the Erfurt squad for the 2004/05 season.
After six months without a club, Nicu signed a contract on January 1, 2005 with the Hessian club SV Wehen , which played in the Regionalliga Süd . There he immediately fought for a regular place and was the top scorer of the southern season with 16 goals in the 2005/06 season , a title he shared with Christian Okpala from newly promoted FC Augsburg . Then Nicu was obliged by the second division club Wacker Burghausen , where he was a regular player in the 2006/07 season. After the Burghauser's relegation in 2007, he returned to SV Wehen Wiesbaden , with whom he played in the 2nd Bundesliga in the 2007/08 season .
From 2008 to 2010 Nicu played for the first division club Hertha BSC . He scored his first international goal on September 16, 2008 in the UEFA Cup match against St Patrick's Athletic . He scored his first Bundesliga goal on October 18, 2008 in the game against VfB Stuttgart . After relegation, Hertha did not use an option to continue signing and Nicu moved to Bundesliga club SC Freiburg on a free transfer . After 23 Bundesliga appearances in his first season in Freiburg, he only made four appearances in the first half of the 2011/12 season . During the winter break, the club informed him that he would no longer play a role in the club's further plans. At the end of January 2012, Nicu moved to second division TSV 1860 Munich on a free transfer ; he received a contract there until the end of the season. In the summer of 2012, his contract was extended by a year, in the first half of the 2012/13 season he was initially used regularly as a substitute. He was no longer used after the winter break. Except for four games, he was not part of the 18-man squad of TSV 1860 Munich. In the summer of 2013 he finally left the club. After six months without a club, he moved to Universitatea Cluj in Romania . In the summer of 2014 he joined the Cypriot second division side Aris Limassol .
From February 2015 he played for the regional league club SV Elversberg . In August 2015 he moved to SpVgg Unterhaching . At the end of the 2016/17 season, Nicu rose to the third division with SpVgg. He played 33 of 34 season games - most of them in central defense - and both relegation games against his ex-club Elversberg. After the ascent, Nicu was used less often. After 14 appearances in the third division in the 2017/18 season, Nicu ended his career in May 2018 - in the last game of the season he was again the captain and scored the early 1-0 with a free kick in the 4-1 win against VfL Osnabrück.
National team
Romania's national coach Victor Pițurcă became aware of Nicu's performances in the Bundesliga. However, since he did not have Romanian citizenship, he first had to apply for it and was granted it on March 17, 2009. He had already been nominated for the World Cup qualifier against Serbia .
