Mircea Petescu
Mircea Viorel Petescu (15 May 1942 – 16 December 2018) was a Romanian professional footballer, coach and sports agent.
Petescu was born on 15 May 1942 in Pecica, Romania. He made his Divizia A debut on 6 September 1959, playing for UTA Arad under coach Coloman Braun-Bogdan in a 2–2 draw against Steagul Roșu Brașov. After only one season, he joined Știința Timișoara, UTA's rivals, where he spent three years, including half a season on loan at Viitorul București.
In 1963, Petescu moved to Steaua București, which he helped win two Cupa României in his four seasons at the club. Coach Ilie Savu used him in only one of the finals, the one in 1966 when he played the entire match in the 4–0 win over his former side, UTA.
In 1967, Petescu returned to UTA, where he played for six seasons. He helped them win two consecutive Divizia A titles in the 1968–69 and 1969–70 seasons under coach Nicolae Dumitrescu. He contributed with eight goals in 27 appearances in the first season and one goal in 30 games in the second. Petescu also played European football with The Old Lady, captaining the team as they managed to eliminate defending European Cup champions Feyenoord in the 1970–71 European Cup season. The following year, he played eight games in the 1971–72 UEFA Cup campaign as UTA reached the quarter-finals, where they were eliminated by Tottenham Hotspur who eventually won the competition. He made his last Divizia A appearance on 20 June 1973 in UTA's 0–0 draw against Universitatea Cluj, having a total of 326 matches with 24 goals in the competition, also totaling 22 appearances in European competitions.
Petescu ended his playing career at FC Dordrecht in the Netherlands.
Under the guidance of coaches Nicolae Dumitrescu and Gheorghe Ola, Petescu helped Romania's under-18 national team win the 1962 European championship.
Petescu played two games for Romania, making his debut on 27 October 1968 under coach Angelo Niculescu in a 3–0 loss to Portugal in the 1970 World Cup qualifiers. His second game was a 0–0 friendly draw against England. He was chosen by coach Silviu Ploeșteanu to be part of Romania's Olympic team for the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, where he played three games, helping the team finish in fifth place.
For winning the 1962 European Under-18 Championship, Petescu was decorated by President of Romania, Traian Băsescu on 25 March 2008, with the Ordinul "Meritul Sportiv" – (The Medal of "Sportive Merit") Class III.
