Gabriel Raksi (1 November 1938 – 12 April 2002)[3] was a Romanian international football player.

Career

He made his first steps in the football career ever since 1951, joining the team Metalul Oradea (coached by Al. Pop). The next team he joined was

Steaua București

During his time with Steaua, Raksi played two times for the

In 1967 Raksi leaves at order for the

Romanian Army
. In 1970 when he is put to reserve, Raksi joins the Cotroceni team,
Progresul București, where he gains new career satisfactions with: Paul Manta, Viorel Popescu, Jean Grama, Măndoiu, Adrian Constantinescu, Dinu Iordan, Beldeanu, Matei, Dudu Georgescu and Ţarălungă. This was an excellent team that had a remarkable success during the disputes with first hand teams. When Raksi was 36, he plucked up his courage together with another great football player of the banking team, Guţă Iancu, and defends the flag of the Division B
team, Metallurgistul Cugir.

A year later (in 1975) Raksi returns to Bucharest as coach of the IMGB București, under the leadership of a great football professional Gheorghe Retezan who was football coach at that time. Between 1976 and 1978 and between 1980 and 1982, Raksi coaches

Relonul Săvineşti

In 1983, he joins Carpaţi Sinaia, then in 1984 Poiana Câmpina; in 1985 he is with Ştiinţa Drăgăneşti in

Steaua București

After the 1989 Revolution, Raksi stays in Bucharest and leads teams from stadiums such as Onoare, Voinţa and Granitul, so that in 1993–1994 he makes another stop in Viitorul Chirnogi, a team from Division C.
