FCM Bacău in the relegation zone. Dumitrescu again went to Cyprus, this time as a coach for Apollon Limassol. By playing the Italian defensive system catenaccio, they won 12 of their first 13 matches and Dumitrescu was named the best manager in Cyprus for the year 2004. Dumitrescu soon moved on to his 6th club side, being named manager of the Greek side AEK Athens FC in February 2004. His roving managerial career continued as he left AEK to join Egaleo, also from the Greek Super League. The next three years found him at three other Greek clubs: Akratitos, Kallithea and PAOK. Dumitrescu was criticised for his style of play by PAOK fans. Having joined the club in February, he resigned in October. After three years without a club he became manager of Panthrakikos in May 2009, but was sacked after only one game. He ended his coaching career at the same team he ended his playing career, FC Steaua. He had spent only 40 days there, and resigned saying that he does not want to stay where he is not wanted. Personal life After leaving Steaua, he no longer considered any coaching jobs, and focused on running his business, a high-class restaurant in the centre of Bucharest, in which he had invested some of the money earned in his sports career, has been a regular guest commentator for television stations covering football matches, and endorsed a sports bets company.
