'''Mirel Matei Rădoi''' (born 22 March 1981) is a Romanian professional [[association football|football]] [[Manager (association football)|manager]] and former player, who is currently in charge of [[Liga I]] club [[CS Universitatea Craiova|Universitatea Craiova]].

A [[defensive midfielder]] or a [[centre-back]], Rădoi began his playing career at [[Extensiv Craiova]] in 1999, before signing for [[FCSB|Steaua București]] one year later. Following eight-and-a-half seasons in the [[Bucharest|capital]], he spent his later career with [[Al Hilal SFC|Al-Hilal]], [[Al Ain FC|Al-Ain]], [[Al Ahli Club (Dubai)|Al-Ahli]] and [[Al-Arabi SC (Qatar)|Al-Arabi]]. Internationally, Rădoi was [[Cap (sports)|capped]] 68 times by [[Romania national football team|Romania]], which he represented at the [[UEFA Euro 2008]].

Rădoi's first stint as a head coach was Steaua București in 2015, where he stayed for six months. Three years later, he was appointed at the helm of the [[Romania national under-21 football team|Romania under-21 national team]], which he led to the [[2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification#Semi-finals|semi-finals]] of the [[2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship|2019 UEFA European Championship]]. This resulted in his promotion to the senior team in November 2019, but left after two years with less success.

==Playing career==

===Extensiv Craiova===
Rădoi started to play football at the age of eight, first as a goalkeeper and then as a defender. He started his youth career at [[CS Turnu Severin|Turnu Severin]] and there he was spotted by [[Sorin Cârțu]], the coach of [[Extensiv Craiova]], who was so impressed by him that he purchased Rădoi in 1999, financing the transfer with his own money. Rădoi made his professional debut in 1999, in a defeat against [[FC Dinamo București|Dinamo București]] on 4 March 2000.  he left the club.

===Steaua București===
Just one year later, in the summer of 2000, Rădoi joined [[FCSB|Steaua București]] for a fee of €110,000. Describing his first day at Steaua, he said, "It was like a positive shock for me. Suddenly I was in the same place with players like [[Iulian Miu]], [[Marius Baciu]] and [[Miodrag Belodedici]], players I saw on TV. It was like a dream."

His coach at Steaua was [[Victor Pițurcă]], the former [[Romanian national football team|Romania national team]] coach, who promoted him to the Steaua first team. He then became one of Steaua's most important players. In his first match for the club, a 4–3 victory over [[FCM Bacău]] at the [[Stadionul Steaua (1974)|Ghencea football stadium]], Rădoi scored the equalizer in the ninth minute after [[Cătălin Cursaru]] had opened the scoring for Bacău less than a minute before.

Steaua would go on to win the championship of the Romanian league that year, as well as the [[Supercupa României]] against rivals Dinamo.

In 2005, Rădoi won a second championship title; and in 2006, yet another: his third. On 24 February 2005, he won an important match in the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] against holder [[Valencia CF|Valencia]]. In 2006 Rădoi captained the team in the UEFA Cup semi-final against [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]] which Steaua lost 4–3 on aggregate.

[[File:Mirel Rădoi.jpg|thumb|right|170px|Rădoi with [[FCSB|Steaua București]] in 2007.]]
In the summer of 2006, a rumour circulated that Rădoi would sign for [[Premier League]] club [[Portsmouth F.C.|Portsmouth]] as soon as the transfer window opened in England, with the transfer fee estimated at [[Pound sterling|£]]11&nbsp;million. The transfer did not materialize, however, and many speculated that the £11&nbsp;million offer was no more than a ploy to jack up the player's potential transfer value before a move elsewhere. In the end, [[FCSB|Steaua]]'s owner [[Gigi Becali]] stated that he would not be selling Rădoi after all.

Due to injury, he only played his first official game in the 2006–07 season on 12 November, a 6–0 victory against [[FC Național București|Național București]].

===Later career===
In January 2009, Rădoi signed a three-year contract with Saudi Arabian club [[Al-Hilal FC|Al-Hilal]] which earned him [[Euro|€]]1.4&nbsp;million annually. The transfer fee [[FCSB|Steaua București]] received was in the region of €6&nbsp;million.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.uefa.com/news/01d5-0e70bd5c21d9-4815c519f6b5-1000--ever-ready-radoi-to-kiss-steaua-goodbye/|title=Ever-ready Rădoi to kiss Steaua goodbye|date=16 January 2009|access-date=28 February 2010|work=[[UEFA]]}}</ref> Rădoi made his debut for Al-Hilal in the local derby against [[Al-Nassr]], which Al-Hilal won 2–0 with Rădoi scoring the second goal.

In his sixth game with the club, he won the Prince's Cup, defeating [[Al-Shabab Riyadh|Al-Shabab]] in the final. Nicknamed "The Warrior" by his fans in Saudi Arabia, he was voted [[Saudi Professional League]] Player of the Year in 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.realitatea.net/radoi-votat-cel-mai-bun-jucator-din-arabia-saudita_719874.html |title=Realitatea .net |access-date=2012-03-26 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101204083013/http://www.realitatea.net/radoi-votat-cel-mai-bun-jucator-din-arabia-saudita_719874.html |archive-date=4 December 2010 }} Radoi votat cel mai bun jucator din Arabia Saudita</ref> They even made a complete book about his career and has been published online with official website MRadoi.com. Rădoi spent three years at the club, becoming a legend, and the team's captain, before he was reunited with ex-Al-Hilal and Steaua manager [[Cosmin Olăroiu]] at [[Al Ain S.C.C.|Al Ain]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://gulfnews.com/sport/football/al-ain-sign-romanian-midfielder-1.833728 |title=Al Ain sign Romanian midfielder |publisher=Gulf News |date=6 July 2011 }}</ref>

===International===
[[Image:RO B ROMAUT Mirel Radoi 1 (cropped).jpg|thumb|right|180px|Rădoi playing for [[Romania national football team|Romania]] in 2009.]]
Rădoi has been capped 67 times for the [[Romania national football team|Romania]], scoring two goals. In 2005, Romanian team manager Victor Pițurcă suspended him for leaving training camp without permission before matches against the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]] and [[Armenia national football team|Armenia]]. Coach Pițurcă recalled him in February 2006 for a friendly tournament in Cyprus after Rădoi apologised for his behaviour.

Although he was included in Romania's squad for [[UEFA Euro 2008]], he suffered an eye injury and broken nose during the second group game against [[Italy national football team|Italy]] after clashing heads with team-mate [[Răzvan Raț]], who emerged unscathed. Rădoi played no further part in the tournament.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fifa.com/confederationcup/news/newsid=801437.html |title=Radoi to have eye surgery |publisher=FIFA |date=13 June 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080615035131/http://www.fifa.com/confederationcup/news/newsid=801437.html |archive-date=15 June 2008 }}</ref> After a confrontation with [[Răzvan Lucescu]] in 2010, Rădoi declared that he would retire from the national team.
