He has prepared Dinamo twice. The first time he arrived in Stefan cel Mare in 2002, and four years later, at the insistence of Gigi Nețoiu, with whom he was close, he returned to the “dogs” for a mandate of 11 matches.
Lighthouse, Ceahlăul, FC National, Rocar, Craiova University, Dinamo, Astra, Petroleum, Jiul Petrosani, Mioveni, Steel, Poli Timișoara and FC Voluntari are the teams that he has prepared as “main”.
