Adrian Mutu

Romanian footballer and manager (born 1979)

Adrian Mutu (Romanian pronunciation:[adriˈanˈmutu]ⓘ; born 8 January 1979) is a Romanian professional football manager and former player who is currently in charge of Liga I club Petrolul Ploiești. During his playing career, he was deployed as a forward or an attacking midfielder.

Mutu started his career playing two years for Argeș Pitești and half a season for Dinamo București, before joining Inter Milan in Italy midway through the 1999–2000 Serie A. After only ten games with the Nerazzurri, he left for Hellas Verona and then Parma, for which he scored 39 goals in the next three years. His excellent form brought him a €22.5 million transfer to Chelsea and a nomination for the Ballon d'Or in 2003.[3] Following a failed drug test, he was released and returned to Serie A to join Juventus. After the 2006 Italian football scandal and the relegation of Juventus to Serie B, Mutu decided to join Fiorentina, where he played consistently for the next five years. He then had a season at Cesena and French cl

But there is one more name they would add, one that can’t be said without a touch of regret or frustration: Adrian Mutu.

With an amount of talent and personality that may even surpass the former mentioned, Mutu’s playing career was sprinkled with controversies, moments of genius, and a great amount of disappointment. “What if?” is the question that probably first comes to mind when thinking about him. Even Mutu himself admitted he has asked himself many times.

Early years in Romania

Adrian Mutu made his debut in Romania’s first league for his boyhood club FC Arges Pitesti in 1996, aged only 17. He played two seasons for the Vulturii alb-violeți (“White-Violet Eagles”) managing to score 11 goals in 41 appearances. As a supporter of Steaua Bucuresti as a young boy, the new
