Bogdan Gheorghe Stelea (Romanian pronunciation: [boɡˈdan ˈstele̯a]; born 5 December 1967) is a Romanian retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and a current coach.
Having played professionally into his 40's, he played for all three major Liga I clubs in his country's capital, and also spent a vast part of his career in Spain, mainly with Salamanca.
Stelea played nearly 100 times for Romania, and represented the nation in three World Cups and two European Championships.
Stelea became and still is the most expensive transfer as a 40 year old football player, by being in the summer of 2008 sold by Unirea Urziceni to FC Brașov for €100k (£85k)
Born in Bucharest, Stelea started playing football at hometown's FC Dinamo București, being the club's undisputed starter by 1988. In 1991–92 he still appeared in 11 Liga I games as the capital side won the national championship, but signed late in 1991 with RCD Mallorca for $650.000. After two La Liga seasons in Spain, with relegation in his first, as last, he joined Belgium's Standard Liège but, unsettled, quickly returned home with FC Rapid București.
