'''Adrian Falub''' (born 8 July 1971) is a Romanian [[football (soccer)|football]] manager and former player.

==Club career==
Falub started to play football at [[Unirea Dej]] in the 4'th Romanian league. In 1989, he was transferred to the [[Liga I]] team [[U Cluj]] where he played 9 consecutive seasons. In 1996 Adrian Falub was sold to [[FC Basel]] because of the financial difficulties of the club.

Falub joined Basel's first team for their [[1996–97 FC Basel season|1996–97 season]] under heas coach [[Karl Engel (Swiss footballer)|Karl Engel]]. He played his domestic league debut for his new club in the home game in the [[St. Jakob Stadium]] on 4 September 1996 as Basel were defeated 2–4 by [[FC Lausanne-Sport|Lausanne-Sport]].<ref name="fcb-achiv-1996/97-FCB-LS">{{cite web | last = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | authorlink = | date = 4 September 1996 | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/saison/spiele?command=detail&id=10818 | title = FC Basel - FC Lausanne-Sport 2:4 (1:2) | format = | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | accessdate = 2021-11-16}}</ref> Falub did not adapt successfully to the Swiss lifestyle and after only one year, he returned to his beloved team [[U Cluj]]. During his short time with the club Falub played a total of 35 games for Basel scoring one goal. 24 of these games were in the [[Swiss Super League|Nationalliga A]], three in the [[Swiss Cup]] and the other eight were friendly games. He scored his only goal during the test games.<ref name="fcb-achiv-Adrian Falub">{{cite web | last = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | authorlink = | year = 1997 | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/spieler?command=detail&id=4260 | title = Adrian Falub - FCB statistic | format = | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | accessdate = 2021-11-16}}</ref>

In 1998 Falub moved to [[Gloria Bistriţa]] and one year later he was transferred to [[FC Naţional București]]. The Romanian defender played 4 seasons for [[FC Naţional București]] and in 2002 he went abroad, to the Cypriot side [[Digenis Akritas Morphou]].

In 2006 Falub accepted the offer to become coach of [[U Cluj]] and left [[Digenis Akritas Morphou]]. He managed to promote the team in [[Liga I]], 3 weeks before the final lap of the championship.
