Vasile Simionaș (born 16 November 1950) is a former Romanian professional football manager and football player. He usually played as a midfielder.
Club career
In April 1968, at the age of seventeen, Simionaș made his Divizia A debut for Dinamo Bacău by coming in for the last 20 minutes in a match against Progresul București.[4][5] A year later he moved to Politehnica Iași.[6]
Simionaș is widely considered to be the most important player in the history of Politehnica Iași, having amassed 359 Divizia A games for them over a fifteen-year period. He was part of the golden team of Politehnica and together with Mihai Romilă and Gabriel Simionov made one of the memorable midfield lines of the Romanian league.[7]
Managerial career
After retiring, Simionaș started his football manager career and made a name for himself with Oțelul Galați in the nineties, where he became one of the most important managers in the club's history.[8] After 2005, Simionaș started to work as an observer for the Romanian Football Federation and also managed CSM Pașcani for a short period in 2013.[9]
