Valentin Stănescu (born November 20, 1922 in Bucharest , † April 4, 1994 ) was a Romanian football player and coach . The goalkeeper played 51 games in the highest Romanian football league, Divizia A , and won the Romanian championship three times as a coach.

Career as a player

Valentin Stănescu's career began at Sportul Studențesc at a time when Divizia A's game operations had been interrupted due to the outbreak of World War II. In 1943 he was with his club in the cup final , but was defeated there by CFR Turnu Severin .

After the war ended, Stănescu initially joined Carmen Bucharest . After the club was dissolved by the communist government in 1947, Stănescu tried to flee to Italy together with his teammate Bazil Marian . The action was caught and Stănescu was spared a stay in prison because he pledged to play for CFR Bucharest (now Rapid Bucharest ), the club of Romanian President Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej . There he was rarely able to defend his place in goal over several match days. In 1949 and 1950 he was runner-up. At the end of 1952 he ended his career.

National team

Stănescu was in the goal of the Romanian national team five times in 1947 . His debut was against Yugoslavia on June 22nd . His last appearance was on October 12th at the end of the Balkan Cup against Hungary .

Career as a coach

After the end of his active career, Stănescu hit that of the coach. In 1955 he took over Flamura Roşie Giurgiu in Divizia C . In 1958 he moved to Unirea Focsani in the Divizia B . A year later he took over the league rivals Metalul Târgovişte . There he was promoted to Divizia A in 1961 , where he was immediately relegated .

After the return to the House of Lords was narrowly missed, Stănescu was given the opportunity in 1963 to become head coach of his former club Rapid Bucharest . At Rapid he made his final breakthrough as a coach. After three runner-up championships, he won the first championship in the club's history in the 1966/67 season . After the following season had only been completed in 10th place and Rapid had started badly in the 1968/69 season , the club parted ways in September 1968 from Stănescu.

He then went to Divizia B and took over the team from Steagul Roşu Braşov , which he led back to Divizia A and there twice to a place in the secured midfield. Then he committed in the summer of 1971 Steaua Bucharest , where he initially could not meet expectations in the 1971/72 season with 9th place. When he was 1st with Steaua during the winter break in 1972/73 , the Romanian federation took the opportunity and hired him as national coach in January 1973 (he had previously held this position briefly in 1964 and 1971).

With the national team Stănescu failed to qualify for an international tournament. After missing the qualification for the 1974 World Cup , Romania could not prevail in the qualification for the European Championship 1976 . At the end of 1975 the association finally replaced him with Ștefan Kovács .

Stănescu returned to his role as club coach and took over Petrolul Ploieşti in Divizia B. He also led his new club to the House of Lords, where the immediate relegation followed in the 1977/78 season and the club separated from him again. After a six-month break, he trained at Universitatea Craiova from March 1979 , where he was able to celebrate the championship in 1980 .

After this success Stănescu moved to Dinamo Bucharest and was also the national coach for the second time. In 1980 he was able to bring the Balkan Cup to Romania. With Dinamo he won in 1982, the double of championship and cup . Before that, he had to hand over the management of the national team to Mircea Lucescu in the fall of 1981 despite a good performance in qualifying for the 1982 World Cup (which was ultimately missed) .

In the summer of 1982 Stănescu returned again to Rapid Bucharest , which was now playing in Divizia B. He led the team back to the House of Lords and then in the 1983/84 season to relegate. Then he ended his coaching career.
