Ilie Oană (16 August 1918 – 27 April 1993) was a football player and manager.

Club career

Ilie Oană was born on 16 August 1918, being nicknamed "Americanul" (The American) because his place of birth was in

Romanian parents who emigrated from Transylvania before the outbreak of World War I.[1][2][3][4][5] In 1921, his parents moved back to their homeland, settling in Sibiu after the 1918 Union of Transylvania with Romania.[1][2][4] Oană began his football career in 1935 with local side Șoimii Sibiu in Divizia B.[1][2][3][4][5][6] He then joined Divizia A club, Juventus București where he made his debut under player-coach Coloman Braun-Bogdan on 12 September 1937 in a 6–2 away loss in front of Universitatea Cluj.[1][2][3][4][5][7] In following years, Oană was an important member of the team, consolidating his place in the first 11, however the team's results were poorer season after season, eventually relegating by the end of the 1939–40 season but he stayed with the club helping it promote after one season by contributing with 9 goals scored in 7 appearances, however the team did not get to play in the following season in Divizia A as the championship was interrupted because of World War II.[8][9][10] In the first season after the war, Oană played 14 games in the 1945–46 București championship, scoring 11 goals that helped Juventus earn a position at the end of the season that granted the participation in the 1946–47 Divizia A season.[11][12][13] He stayed with Juventus, playing Divizia A football until his retirement in 1951.[1][2][5][14][15][16][17][18]

International career

Ilie Oană made two appearances for Romania, making his debut under coach Virgil Economu in a friendly which ended 2–2 against Hungary in October 1939.[19][20][21] He also played in a 0–0 against Poland at the 1948 Balkan Cup.[19][22]

Managerial career

"His great quality was that he knew how to make a team. He didn't choose players randomly. He didn't have 9 stars out of 11. He always had the courage to promote footballers. He rarely took footballers of great value. He was looking to promote"

–Mircea Dridea, former Petrolul Ploiești player talking about Ilie Oană[3]

Ilie Oană became a football coach shortly after he retired from playing in 1952 at the club he ended his playing career, Juventus which was renamed

Farul Constanța and Gloria Buzău, being unable to help them promote to the first league.[1][2][3][4][5] Oană has a total of 572 matches as a coach in Divizia A consisting of 232 victories, 124 draws and 216 losses, which makes him the second coach with the most matches in the league, behind Florin Halagian who has 878.[28] He died on 27 April 1993 in Bucharest, the Ilie Oană Stadium from Ploiești was named in his honor, also having a statue displayed in front of it.[1][3][5]
