Early life and education

He holds a bachelor's Degree in sports science obtained at West University of Timișoara. He obtained his "B" UEFA license in 2004 and his "A" UEFA license in 2007 from the Romanian Football Federation. He updated his UEFA certificate in 2014 in Italy at the Italian Football Federation.

Playing career

Born in Timișoara, Tudorascu played at the youth level for FC Politehnica Timișoara and FC CFR Timișoara before persistent knee injuries ended his career at 20 in the third national league, playing for ASU Politehnica Timișoara.

Coaching career

In August 2000, he was appointed coach of FC Srbianka Giuchici Timișoara, one of the private football schools in West Romania. In 2005, he moved to Italy, and he became the coach of ASDC Fiume Veneto Bannia -Pordenone Calcio (Under 10 and 15 youth teams), the second Romanian coach in Italy at all levels, after the legendary Mircea Lucescu. The Italian mass media call him the "successor of Lucescu". In June 2009, Tudorascu returned to his hometown and signed a deal to become the new coach to the Under 14 team at FC Timișoara Academy (ex FC Politehnica Timișoara), in maybe the most glorious period of the club. In August 2013, he finished the contract with FC Timișoara and immediately started a collaboration with Ernesto Nani inside the Italian football project "Nuove Frontiere" At the same time, he started a technical collaboration with the Soccer Elite Football Academy from the United Kingdom (affiliated Chelsea FC). Back in 2012, he was presented with a remarkable opportunity to undertake an internship at VFB Stuttgart - widely regarded as one of the best youth academies in Germany. This proved to be a pivotal moment in his career as he was able to gain invaluable experience and knowledge from some of the most skilled professionals in the industry. The experience he gained during his internship proved to be instrumental in his career development and helped him establish a solid foundation for success in the field. In the summer of 2013, he was appointed Head of Youth Development and Head Coach to Atalanta Bergamo FC (Academy of Atalanta in South Italy- Katane Soccer). After four glorious years, he moves to another continent to give his contribution to the development of football in Asia, signing with Shanghai JuJu Sports F.C.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chinese club suspended its contract in 2020. Starting in October 2021, the experienced coach/manager accepted a new offer from Middle East and became the new Academy Manager at Winners Football Club, which operates in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. His impressive journey continues far from his comfort zone, where he'll certainly leave his mark.

Management style and influence

Mister Tudorascu believes in the Dutch concept of Total Football, insisting that young players should be coached in all aspects of football rather than into specialist positions, helping the team with or without the ball. It is a system where a player who moves out of his position is replaced by another from his team, thus allowing the team to retain its intended organizational structure. No footballer is fixed in their intended outfield role in this fluid system. He is also a big fan of 2012's new Belgian football philosophy, which influenced him from that moment. During his coaching career, Mister Tudorascu participated in various activities for important European clubs: Red Star Belgrade, Udinese FC Calcio, Chelsea FC, and Vfb Stuttgart. His favourite football system is an offensive 1-4-3-3 balanced and very elastic. The Italian newspaper Il Gazzettino considers him one of the best football coaches in Europe for young adults because of his methods of managing and leading the teams in and out of the field.
