[3] He went to play for Steaua București where he won the 1967–68 Divizia A, being the team's top-goalscorer with 13 goals scored in the 25 matches he was used by coach Ștefan Kovács and he also won five Cupa României, scoring in all the finals, in the last two scoring a double in each. [3] [4] After a period of two years spent in France at Nîmes Olympique, Voinea came back in Romania, having a second spell at Steaua București, afterwards spending a season at CSM Reșița and one at Politehnica Timișoara where he made his last Divizia A appearance on 25 May 1975 in a 2–2 against Steagul Roșu Brașov, retiring after playing one season in Divizia B at UM Timișoara.

Transfer at Nîmes Olympique

During Romania's communist era, transfers of Romanian footballers outside the country were rarely allowed, but in June 1970 dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu went on a visit in France where he was invited by president Georges Pompidou. [9] [10] Pampidou took him to see Nîmes, a town where the communists were constantly winning the elections, there Ceaușescu talked to the mayor who complained about the poor results of the local football team, Nîmes Olympique so Ceaușescu told him that he was going to send two Romanian footballers to the club. [9] [10] Some French people were sent to see the 1970 Cupa României final which was won with 2–1 by Steaua București against Dinamo București, both of Steaua București's goals being scored by Voinea, and they selected Voinea from Steaua and Ion Pârcălab from Dinamo to come and play for Nîmes Olympique, where in the 1971–72 season they helped the team finish second in the championship, each of them scoring 11 goals. [3] [9] [10] [11]
