“Playing is over for me,” he told Europa FM.
“Today I started to attend coaching school, where we’re coaching children between six and eight years.
“In mid-November, I’ll finish studying for my B Licence, though doing my A requires me to be an assistant Coach in the Romanian top flight.
“When I walked into the dressing room, the first things I asked were sincerity, discipline and punctuality.”
