Career

Hizo was a goalkeeper at Șoimii Sibiu and other lower-class clubs in his hometown during his playing days . After FC Inter Sibiu was promoted to Divizia B in 1986 , Hizo became assistant coach of the team that made it to Divizia A in 1988 . After the death of head coach Constantin Ardeleanu , Hizo was his successor in 1990. In the 1990/91 season he achieved the greatest successes in the club's history with a fourth place and winning the Balkan Cup . Still, he left the club in 1991 to become Florin Halagian's assistant coach at Dinamo Bucharest and did not return until December 1992. In October 1993 Rapid Bucharest took Hizo as the successor to Marcel Puşcaş under contract. He was able to qualify with his team in the 1993/94 season for the UEFA Cup and move there against Sporting Charleroi in the second round, where Rapid was eliminated by Eintracht Frankfurt . In the 1994/95 season Rapid parted ways in March 1995 when the missed European Cup participation at the end was in danger of Hizo. After he had looked after the league rivals FC Național Bucharest until the end of the season , Hizo returned to Rapid at the beginning of the 1995/96 season . His second term ended in early October 1995 when the club had dropped into mid-table.

In early 1996, Hizo took over as the successor to Csaba Györffy head coach of league rivals FC Brașov , whom he led to relegation. When the club was last in the table a year later , he was dismissed in March 1997 and replaced by Marian Mihail , who could no longer prevent relegation. Hizo himself was signed by top club Dinamo Bucharest in the summer of 1997 . Since the desired qualification for the European Cup was in jeopardy, he resigned on April 5, 1998 after the 0-5 defeat at Steaua Bucharest and was replaced by Cornel Dinu . He then became an assistant to Florin Halagian at FCM Bacau . After the twelfth day of the 1998/99 season he was head coach of Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț in November 1998 . He qualified for the UI Cup in 1999 , where he was eliminated in the third round due to the away goals rule against Juventus Turin . In the 1999/2000 season he was able to repeat this success. In the second half of the first round second leg against Estonian representative JK Trans Narva on June 25, 2000, Hizo left the team because he refused to replace striker Florin Axinia at the behest of club president Gheorghe Ștefan. After Ceahlăul's lawsuit at the Liga Profesionistă de Fotbal , Hizo was banned from practicing for all top division clubs for a year on September 2, 2000, and his contract concluded on April 10, 2001 with Rapid Bucharest was initially declared invalid.

In the summer of 2001, Hizo was the third time coach of Rapid Bucharest. He led his team to the 2002 cup final , but was sacked two weeks before the final on May 16, 2002 and replaced by Mircea Rednic . In August 2002 he succeeded Petre Grigoraș at Farul Constanța , but had to leave again during the winter break . At the beginning of the second half of the season he returned to Ceahlăul, which he led again in the UI Cup . In March 2003, the club was last in the table when Hizo was dismissed and replaced by Marius Lăcătuş . Rapid Bucharest signed him again in April 2004. With the reigning champions, he missed qualifying for the UEFA Cup at the end of the 2003/04 season and was allowed to leave after the end of the season.

After a year in China, Hizo returned to Romania in September 2005. The promoted Pandurii Târgu Jiu was after four game days on the bottom of the table when he had separated from his coach Emil Săndoi . He could not lead the club out of the table basement and was released in early May 2006. After a detour at the second division Delta Tulcea , he inherited on September 26, 2006 Gheorghe Mulțescu, who had retired two days earlier, at league rivals FC Vaslui . After the end of the 2006/07 season he had to give way to Dorinel Munteanu . At the beginning of the 2007/08 season he was the third time head coach of Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț, had to relegate with the club at the end of the season. On June 10, 2008 he signed a two-year contract with FC Vaslui. There he started the 2008/09 season with five wins out of six games and was released again in early November 2008 after seven games without a win. In May 2009 Rapid Bucharest took him again under contract, where he missed qualifying for the Europa League as the successor to Marian Rada . He got off to a good start with his team in the 2009/10 season , but had to give way in October 2009.

On January 4, 2010 he took up the position of coach at the second division team Universitatea Cluj and stayed for three months. Hizo returned to FC Vaslui in October 2010 , who had previously sacked Juan Ramón López Caro . In the 2010/11 season he led his team to third place, which entitled to qualification for the Champions League due to the exclusion of second-placed FC Timișoara . There he missed qualifying for the group stage against FC Twente Enschede and was relegated to the Europa League . After the play-off win against Sparta Prague , he was eliminated with his club in the group stage against Sporting Lisbon and Lazio . After the club had to cancel a training camp in Poiana Brașov in January 2012 under pressure from the players and relocate to Antalya , Hizo was dismissed by patron Adrian Porumboiu on January 27, 2012. In September 2012, he succeeded Marius Șumudică again as head coach in Vaslui. At the beginning of April 2013, after a loss to CS Turnu Severin was dismissed because the qualification for the Europa League was in danger and replaced by Gavril Balint .
