A former

European Championships, in 1996 and 2000.[6]

Club career

Munteanu with 1. FC Köln

Munteanu was born in

Divizia B in 1986. After a year he went to play for CSM Reșița and then in 1988 for Olt Scornicești, while 1989 found him at Inter Sibiu
.

Cercle Brugge two years later. After two years in Belgium, he moved to Germany to play for 1. FC Köln and VfL Wolfsburg
until 2003.

In 2003, aged 35, he was released from his contract by VfL Wolfsburg and signed with

Chief Executive Mihai Stoica and join the squad of CFR Cluj-Napoca
.

International career

Dorinel won his first cap for Romania in 1991 while still at Inter Sibiu.[6] Since then he was a very important part of the national team of Romania, playing in various positions such as left back, left midfielder and playmaker.

In 2001, he won his 100th cap in a game against

footballer.[6] He has a total of 134 caps.[6]

Munteanu scored 16 goals for Romania and played at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 1996, 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000.[6]

Coaching career

After leaving

FC Vaslui. He has stated that he also intends to continue his playing career at FC Vaslui. He came back as head coach of Universitatea Cluj in September 2008, but only after seven games he quit to go to Steaua București.[1][9] And again, after only eight games, he was dismissed by the club's president, Gigi Becali and returned to Universitatea Cluj.[10]

After the short spell at Universitatea Cluj, in July 2009 he signed a contract with

Oțelul Galați. In the first season under his command, the team finished eighth. The next season, Oțelul started the season with four wins in the first six games and climbed on top of the championship. They finished first the Autumn part of the season, and what seemed to be only a flash in the pan, became one of the biggest surprises in the Romanian football. Oțelul maintained its position throughout the Spring season and became Romanian champion for the first time in their history. Munteanu was seen as the primary factor for this success.[11]

The following season, under Munteanu's guidance, Oțelul took part in the UEFA Champions League group stage, but failed to gain a single point. In the championship, Oțelul finished sixth and didn't qualify for the European competitions.

The 2012–13 season started badly for Oțelul who won the game in the first round, against Politehnica Iași, but then registered five consecutive games without a win. As a consequence, Dorinel Munteanu resigned.

In November 2012, he was installed as a head coach at Dinamo București.[12][13] After only one month and four games in charge at Dinamo, Munteanu resigned at the end of 2012, citing the wish to follow his dream to coach abroad.[14] Just a day later, on 28 December 2012, Munteanu signed a contract for one and a half years with Mordovia Saransk.[15] On 1 August 2013, he took charge of Russian side Kuban Krasnodar,[16] before being sacked on 12 October of the same year. On 14 June 2014, Munteanu was appointed as manager of

Gabala FK.[17] Munteanu was relieved of his duties as manager on 8 December 2014, following four wins in sixteen matches.[18]
