Silviu Dumitrescu (born 4 February 1953) is a Romanian football manager and former player.
Dumitrescu played in the Divizia A in over 150 matches for CS TârgoviÃÂte, being one of the members of the so called "golden generation" of the club along with players such as: Nicolae Dobrin, Ion Ene, Florea Alexandru, Ionel Pitaru, Dumitru Gheorghe, Claudius Sava, Nelu Isaia, Gheorghe Greaca, Florin Grigore, Nicolae Enache, Petre Marinescu, Ion Constantin, Ilie Niculescu, Viorel Radu, Constantin Miia, Gheorghe Voinea, Mihai Iatan, Mihai Banu, Mihai MÃÂrgelatu, Gheorghe Filipescu and Dumitru Economu. This generation achieved two promotions in the top tier and the best performance in the history of the football from TârgoviÃÂte (7th place).
As a football manager Dumitrescu started his career in 1992 at Cimentul Fieni and after two good seasons he was appointed by Chindia TârgoviÃÂte. At Chindia, together with his assistants, Vasile Silaghi and Gheorghe PÃÂsÃÂricÃÂ, he created one of the best squads that ever played on Eugen Popescu Stadium. Even if probably this team was not as good as Dumitrescu's generation, the promotion achieved in 1996, after 12 years of lower divisions, the style of playing and the composition of the squad, made of local players, won the heart of the supporters and gave to the club a nickname that will last for years, "Micul Ajax" (The Little Ajax). In that Chindia squad were players such as: Adrian Bogoi, Vasile BârdeÃÂ, Bogdan LiÃÂÃÂ, Cristian ÃÂermure, Cristian BÃÂlaÃÂa, Remus Gâlmencea or LaurenÃÂiu Reghecampf.
Dumitrescu left TârgoviÃÂte in 1997, but his career would reach the peak in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Firstly he obtained a qualification in the UEFA Cup with FC ArgeàPiteÃÂti, then two promotions in the Divizia A with Rocar BucureÃÂti (1999) and Gaz Metan Mediaà(2001). In 2006 after a season spent at TârgoviÃÂte, Dumitrescu moved to Albania where he had two short spells at Apolonia Fier and Besa Kavajë.
In 2011 he returned to Chindia, firstly as a manager, then as a technical director and again as a manager.
