Gabriel Tamaș
Gabriel Sebastian Tamaș (Romanian pronunciation: [ɡabriˈel ˈtamaʃ]; born 9 November 1983) is a Romanian former footballer who played as a centre-back, currently sporting director of Liga II club Concordia Chiajna.
Tamaș started out as a senior at FC Brașov in the 1998–99 season, and was a journeyman who competed professionally in Turkey, Russia, Spain, France, England, and Israel, apart from his own country. He won seven domestic trophies playing for rival sides Dinamo București and Steaua București in Romania, with which he had multiple spells, and his honours also include the Israel State Cup and the Israeli Super Cup with Hapoel Haifa.
A Romanian international for 15 years, Tamaș totalled 67 caps and three goals for the nation and was selected in the squad for the UEFA Euro 2008.
Tamaș was born on 9 November 1983 in Brașov, Romania and began playing junior-level football at local club ICIM Brașov. He started his senior career in the 1998–99 Divizia B season with FC Brașov, making his debut when coach Cornel Țălnar sent him for the last minutes of a match against Sportul Studențesc București. That would remain his only appearance for FC Brașov as he went together with teammate Tiberiu Ghioane to play for first-league team Rapid București. There, he did not get to make his debut as coach Anghel Iordănescu sent him back to the second league on loan at Tractorul Brașov for two seasons.
In July 2002, Tamaș became free of contract and coach Țălnar took him to Dinamo București. There, he made his Divizia A debut on 17 August, when coach Ion Moldovan sent him to replace Dan Alexa in the 79th minute of a 5–0 win over Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț. He scored his first goal in the competition on 20 October in a 2–0 victory against Național București. By the end of the season, he won the first trophy of his career when coach Ioan Andone used him for the first 71 minutes, then replaced him with Ovidiu Burcă in the 1–0 win against Național in the Cupa României final.
Tamaș was transferred in the summer of 2003 by Dinamo to Galatasaray for €2 million. He spent only half a season alongside fellow Romanians Florin Bratu and Ovidiu Petre with the Cim Bom Bom side, being used rarely in the league by coach Fatih Terim, but making four appearances in the Champions League group stage, including a 2–0 home win over Juventus.
In January 2004, Tamaș moved to Russian Premier League club Spartak Moscow which paid Galatasaray €3.5 million for his transfer. He spent half a season with The Gladiators, playing constantly in the defense with compatriots Adrian Iencsi and Florin Șoavă until January 2005 when he was loaned to Dinamo because Spartak bought Nemanja Vidić in his place. At the end of the 2004–05 season he won another Cupa României with The Red Dogs, Andone using him the full 90 minutes of the 1–0 victory against Farul Constanța in the final. Subsequently, he helped the team earn its first Supercupa României, coach Andone using him the first half, replacing him for the second half with Lucian Goian in the 3–2 victory against rivals Steaua București. Tamaș also helped them eliminate Everton with a historical 5–2 on aggregate, reaching the group stage of the 2005–06 UEFA Cup. After Spartak sold Vidić to Manchester United, he returned to play for them for a short while. Afterwards he was loaned again, this time to Celta Vigo which needed a replacement for Sergio. Tamaș made his La Liga debut on 17 September 2006 when coach Fernando Vázquez sent him in the 83rd minute to replace Pablo Contreras in a 2–1 away loss to Espanyol. He appeared regularly for Celta during the 2006–07 season. He helped them eliminate the team he belonged to, Spartak Moscow, in the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup, being eliminated by Werder Bremen in the following round.
At the start of the following campaign, Tamaș was bought for €3 million by Ligue 1 club Auxerre, where he played alongside Romanians Daniel Niculae and Vlad Munteanu. He made his Ligue 1 debut on 15 August 2007 when coach Jean Fernandez sent him in the 90th minute to replace Thomas Kahlenberg in a 3–0 away loss to Strasbourg. After playing regularly for a year in France, he returned to Dinamo which paid €400,000 for a season-long loan. Subsequently, his deal was extended for another year and was also elected captain by his teammates. Tamaș scored the only goal of a victory in a derby against Steaua, played at the Ghencea stadium, and then he scored in a 1–0 win over Sturm Graz in the 2009–10 Europa League group stage.
