Career

society

Stîngă's career began in his hometown of Craiova. In 1990, he came into the first team squad of FC Universitatea Craiova , but was first at local rivals Jiul Craiova IELIF in the Divizia C borrowed. After his return he became a regular midfield player during the 1991/92 season . With the cup victory in 1993 in the final against Dacia Unirea Brăila , he won his first title. In the 1993/94 season he achieved his best goal rate with twelve goals, ending the season in second place behind Steaua Bucharest . The same table constellation resulted at the end of the 1994/95 season .

In the summer of 1995 Stîngă left Romania and switched to the Spanish first division club UD Salamanca . There he was used in almost all games in the Primera División and scored eleven goals, but only finished last in the table with his club and had to relegate. He initially stayed in Salamanca before the Dutch top club PSV Eindhoven signed him during the winter break . There he was only used irregularly in the following years. He won the Dutch championship three times - in the 1996/97 , 1999/2000 and 2000/01 seasons .

After he had come only to a single use in the 2000/01 season, Stîngă moved back to Romania to Dinamo Bucharest . By winning the championship in 2002 , he was able to build on earlier successes. In the summer of 2002 he returned to Universitatea Craiova. After initial difficulties, he became a regular again. After two years in which he was able to complete the league in the front midfield, he was hired by Helmond Sport in the second Dutch division, the Eerste Divisie . After a year he took over the post of player-coach at Universitatea Craiova, which had just been relegated to Divizia B. He managed to rise again in 2006 . After a bad start to the 2006/07 season with just one win out of nine games, he was dismissed in October 2006, which also ended his playing career.

National team

Stîngă played a total of 24 games for the Romanian national team . He made his debut on January 31, 1993 in the friendly against Ecuador as part of an international trip to South America. He was only called up irregularly in the following years and only returned to the team during preparation for the 1994 World Cup in the United States. After he was used in all preparatory games, he could not book any playing time for himself during the tournament.

Except for two friendly matches in February 1995, Stîngă was not considered in the following two years. He only returned to the team in the run-up to the 1996 European Championship in England. After only sitting on the bench in the first two group games, he played from the start in the final game against Spain , but was eliminated with his team. Again he was only sporadically nominated for two years. As before, he returned to the national team just in the run-up to a major tournament. At the 1998 World Cup in France he came to short appearances in the first two group matches against Colombia and England .

Even after the World Cup, Stîngă was rarely considered. In the final European Championship qualifier against Liechtenstein on October 9, 1999, he made his last appearance.
