Adrian Mutu currently playing for ASA Tirgu-Mures
The former Chelsea and Juventus striker is currently playing for ASA Tirgu-Mures in Romania. Mutu is desperate to prove to the Romanian coach that he is still able to play at the highest level and that he deserves a place in the Romanian selection at the Euros.
Adrian Mutu, who last played for Romania in 2013, would be inspired by the comments of current Romania coach, Angel Iordanescu, who said that the 37-year old player might be selected if ever he proved his form in a competitive league. It is for this reason that Adrian Mutu has agreed to join ASA Tirgu-Mures.
Adrian Mutu has played a host of European clubs such as Parma, Chelsea, Juventus, and Fiorentina. He rose to prominence with Parma where he will make 36 appearances for them. He will score 22 goals during that period. His good form in Serie A will attract the interest of other European clubs.
In 2003, he will sign for Chelsea where he will score 4 goals in three matches. But his form will decline as the season progresses and will ultimately lose his place in the starting lineup.
It is in 2004 that his problem will actually start when he fails a cocaine test. He will be suspended by the FA and then released by the Club.
In 2005, Adrian Mutu signed for Juventus where he will make 46 appearances for the Italian club. He will score 11 goals during that period. He will win 2 Serie A title with Juventus, but both of them has been revoked because of the 2006 Italian football scandal.
Following the scandal, Juventus was relegated, and Adrian Mutu left the club for Fiorentina. He will make more than 150 appearances for the club and scored 70 goals for them.
