Mihai Răzvan Teja (born 22 September 1978) is a Romanian professional footballmanager and former player, currently in charge of Danish Superliga club Vejle.
Club career
After Teja finished his youth years at Steaua București and was starting to be integrated into the first team squad, he was diagnosed with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome, a heart disorder that did not allow him to play professional sports, thus he had to put and end to his playing career without making a single appearance.[1]
In 2010, after Ilie Dumitrescu was named the head coach of Steaua and came with his own technical staff, Teja left the club and was reunited with Mircea Rednic, at Khazar Lankaran. They returned to Romania in 2012, at Petrolul Ploiești, and then they moved to Belgium, at Standard Liège. In 2013, Teja separated from Rednic and joined Astra Giurgiu, under the management of Daniel Isăilă.[5]
Managerial career
He made his debut as head coach at the Liga I side Universitatea Cluj in October 2013.[6] He ended his contract in September 2014.
In November 2014, Teja was appointed head coach of the Romania national under-21 team.[7] He managed the team for a friendly game against Serbia U21, in Belgrade, won by Romania 1–0.[8] After only one game in charge, he ended his contract with the Romanian Football Federation. In January 2015, Teja signed a contract with Dinamo București, but was sacked only two months later.[9]
In December 2018, after a good first half of the season with Gaz Metan Mediaș, Teja accepted a one-and-a-half-year contract offer from FCSB, following the departure of former coach Nicolae Dică.[10]
