Adrian Neaga

Early career

Neaga was born in Pitești. He signed his first professional contract with Argeș Pitești in 1997. He was then playing in the same team with Adrian Mutu. He played three games in his first season, scoring a goal, and then played two other games in the first half of the following season, before the club decided to loan him to Dacia Pitești, a club from the second league, where he played 20 games and scored 10 goals, therefore gaining the right to be part of Argeș Pitești again. In 2001 Neaga failed a drug test which had been performed at the end of a Divizia A game. He tested positive for the anabolic steroid metenolone. He was not sanctioned for it, however.

Return to Steaua

After Neaga ended his contract with Al-Nassr, Neaga returned to Steaua București. During the 2003–04 season he scored 13 goals in 15 games. Walter Zenga was appointed head coach of Steaua București in the summer of 2004 and he soon made Neaga one of the two team leaders, alongside Mirel Rădoi, and in the first half of that season Neaga played 15 games in Divizia A, scoring six goals, while in the UEFA Cup he scored five times in eight games, finishing Steaua's top-scorer in Europe that season. In February 2005, Gigi Becali received a buying offer from the South Korean club Chunnam Dragons for US$1.5 million. Becali accepted the offer, even though Neaga and the team were due to play a very important game against Valencia CF, then the La Liga champions and UEFA Cup winners, in…

After Neaga ended his player career, Neaga started a career as coach, and his first job came at the beginning of 2013, when he signed a contract with Liga IV team Unirea Bascov. In December 2013, Neaga signed a contract to manage Atletic Bradu, in Liga III. In July 2014, Neaga signed a contract to coach ACS Urban Titu.
