Romania Manager: Edward Iordanescu
Edward Iordanescu, son of the legendary Anghel Iordanescu, has built a solid reputation by guiding a demoralized Romanian side to a major finals. His cautious tactical approach and faith in his squad have inspired belief and earned him plaudits.
Romania’s Star Player: Nicolae Stanciu
Captain Nicolae Stanciu is the driving force behind the team. The diminutive No.10, now with Damac in Saudi Arabia, isn’t afraid to attempt a dribble, tackle, or long-range shot. His leadership and attacking prowess will be crucial for Romania.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Romania boasts a well-organized side with a blend of youth and experience. Players like Ianis Hagi and Radu Dragusin bring quality and potential, while the team’s unbeaten record in qualifying shows their resilience and team spirit.
Despite their organization, Romania lacks star power and depth compared to some of the tournament’s bigger teams. Their recent form, with goalless draws against Bulgaria and Liechtenstein, hasn’t been encouraging.
