Free from contact, Ladislau Boloni (72 years old) has time to make charts. Loti chose the five best Romanian coaches in history. On November 19, after releasing his documentary film “Bologna – the legend that binds us”.
Loti believes that the leader of Romanian coaches is Ștefan Kovacs, who won the European Champions Cup with Ajax Amsterdam.
“For me, Kovacs is on 1. Here I have, finally, a difficult problem, between Ienei and Lucescu. That’s why I put both of them with the silver medal. Ienei’s performance… I think no one else could have extracted so much from the team he had.
Ienei was an extraordinary psychologist! He trusted you 100%. When he put you in the team, you were already 100% ready. His demeanor, his demand was respect.
You had to respect him. I give you freedom of expression, you give me respect. And, for this, this gang that we formed, there, with different cultures, with different intellectual capacities… Ienei was a special man.
Mircea is a very cultured man. Therefore, pay more attention to the opponent. In addition to the expression of the opponent, you, in order to express yourself freely, had to have this freedom, I give you this freedom.
On the fourth, I have to say, although I worked very little with him, he called me for the first time to the national team, but because of an accident I couldn’t be present… Angelo Niculescu. He broke the ice, he took the national team to Mexico and so on. And on the fifth place I put Tiberiu Bone, my mentor“, said Boloni, for iamsport.ro.
Designated by the FRF as the coach of the 20th century, Anghel Iordănescu (77 years old), a colleague of Loti Boloni at Steaua, does not appear in the top. Tata Puiu led the national team to 5th place at the American World Cup and won the European Champions Cup as a player and second coach.
Boloni was Romania’s coach and took the tricolors to the brink of the tie with Slovenia in 2001. He chose to go to Sporting Lisbon, with whom he won the title in Portugal.
