So we started in the first league in 1969.”[2][3][5][6][7][8][14] Afterwards he coached in the Romanian lower leagues, first he moved back to Universitatea for the 1976\u201377 Divizia B season when the team finished on the 12th position, then in 1979 he returned at CFR until 1982 when he went at CUG Cluj and then Sticla Arie\u0219ul Turda.[2][3][5][6][7][8][15] In 1992 at 68 years old the doctor returned for a last time at CFR and managed it for three years in Divizia C, helping at the creation of the team that would promote a year later.[2][3][5][6][7][8] Constantin R\u0103dulescu has a total of 181 games managed in Divizia A consisting of 58 victories, 48 draws and 75 losses.[16]Managing style[edit]As a manager he is considered a real Alex Ferguson of CFR Cluj by former player Marius Bretan and former player Romic\u0103 Petrescu said:”Ajax and CFR used the same training methods. The training cycle was taken from Ajax, with two training sessions on Tuesday, two on Thursday, free on Wednesday. Everything was done counter-clockwise, after pulse, after tension.”[3][5] Augustin \u021aegean, a CFR legend described him:”A distinct character from all points of view: tough, severe, does not give up his principles. He always told us that he was the only one allowed to make jokes because he was from Bucharest. He was a strong personality, we all respected him. We were afraid of him. [..] I can say he was using new methods for those times. He explained the game schemes on the board. The marks were made man-to-man. Everyone knew exactly what area to cover on the pitch. His methods were the most modern.”[3] In 1972, the Minister of Transport asked him to take over Rapid Bucure\u0219ti, but he refused by having a unreasonable demand which was that Ric\u0103 R\u0103ducanu, a star of the team, to be kicked out.[3]Personal life[edit]He grew up having three brothers, his father worked at a cigarette factory while his mother was a housewife and he started to play football as a child with his friends in the Regie neighborhood where he was born, going in 1935 to the Gheorghe \u0218incai high school.[2][3] He also worked as a doctor, managing to become the head of the ENT Department at CFR Cluj Hospital and during his period spent with Universitatea Cluj in Sibiu he met a woman which he married in 1950, having a daughter together named Stanca Ioana Gidro.[2][3][7][8] R\u0103dulescu died on October 2001 in Cluj-Napoca and since 2008, CFR’s stadium was named Stadionul Dr. Constantin R\u0103dulescu in his honor.[2][3][5][6]Writing[edit]Constantin R\u0103dulescu wrote a autobiographical volume, called O via\u0163\u0103 \u00eenchinat\u0103 fotbalului (A life dedicated to football).[2][3][7]Honours[edit]Player[edit]Sportul Studen\u021bescUniversitatea ClujManager[edit]CFR ClujReferences[edit]Constantin R\u0103dulescu managerial positions     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki41\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki41\/constantin-radulescu-footballer-born-1924\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Constantin R\u0103dulescu (footballer, born 1924)"}}]}]
