Club career

Munteanu started to play football for Metalul Bocşa, a team which offered him the first chance to play in Divizia B in 1986. After one year he went to play for FCM Reşiţa and then in 1988 for FC Olt, while 1989 found him at FC Inter Sibiu.

Dinamo Bucharest bought him from Sibiu in 1991 only to sell him to Cercle Brugge two years later. After two years in Belgium he moved to Germany to play for 1. FC Köln and VfL Wolfsburg between 1995 and 2003.

In 2003, aged 35, he was released from his contract by VfL Wolfsburg and signed with Steaua Bucureşti as a free agent, only to leave the club in 2005 after a conflict with the club's Chief Executive Mihai Stoica and join the squad of CFR Cluj Napoca.

International career

Dorinel won his first cap for Romania in 1991 while still at FC Inter Sibiu. Since then he was a very important part of the national team of Romania, playing in various positions such as left back, left midfielder and playmaker.

In 2001 he won his 100th cap in a game against Hungary in Budapest and four years later he won the 126th cap, making him the most capped Romanian footballer. He now has 134 caps.

Munteanu scored 16 goals for Romania and played at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, 1996 European Football Championship, 1998 FIFA World Cup and 2000 European Football Championship.

As of 30 June 2006, Dorinel Munteanu is the most capped player for Romania, with 134 caps.

Coaching career

After leaving Steaua Bucureşti, Munteanu is offered the position of player-manager at CFR Cluj Napoca. In this first managerial job, he took the team to the Intertoto Cup final in 2005 and finished fifth in Divizia A at the end of the 2005–06 season. During the first half of the 2006–07 season, despite a good start (6 wins, 2 draws, 2 defeats) with CFR Cluj Napoca, Munteanu announced he resigns his position at the club, due to interference with his decisions and lack of support from the club management. Munteanu had a pending offer from FC Argeş Piteşti and he decided to accept it, despite the team being bottom of the first league after 10 games. Towards the end of the season, due to impossibility of avoiding the relegation of FC Argeş Piteşti, he was sacked, only to be confirmed in short time as the new manager of Liga 1 team FC Vaslui. He has stated that he also intends to continue his playing career at FC Vaslui. He came back as head coach of U Cluj in September 2008, but only after 7 games he quit to go to Steaua Bucureşti. And again, after only 8 games, he was dismissed by the club's president, George Becali.
