Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox football biography Edward Iordănescu (Шаблон:IPA-ro; born 16 June 1978), sometimes known as Iordănescu Jr., is a Romanian former footballer, who played as a midfielder, and the current manager of the Romania national team.

He represented nine teams during a rather uneventful playing career, including stints abroad with Panionios and Alki Larnaca. He started his coaching career at FCSB.[1][2]

Iordănescu has found more success after his retirement as a player, earning a reputation in his country of being a studious manager who prepares matches in great detail.[3] During his two stints at CFR Cluj he guided the team to three domestic trophies, and in 2022 was appointed at the helm of the Romania national team, subsequently leading them to qualification for UEFA Euro 2024.

Playing career

Iordănescu's connection with Steaua București began in early 1984, at the age of six. His father Anghel Iordănescu, who was an assistant coach at the time, took him along with him to attend games at the Ghencea Stadium. He sat next to Alin Stoica, also the son of a club legend, and they began playing together during warm ups and half-time breaks. After playing for Steaua's youth teams, Iordănescu was promoted to the first team in 1996 along with Stoica.

He failed to impose himself at the Roș-albaștrii and left for Sportul Studențesc in 1997. Iordănescu spent the rest of his career with several teams in Romania—Unirea Focșani, Rapid București, Rocar București, Petrolul Ploiești and Vaslui. He also had spells abroad in Greece and Cyprus with Panionios and Alki Larnaca, respectively.
