Florin Tene

Tene was born on 10 November 1968 in Bucharest, Romania and began playing junior-level football at local club Dinamo under the guidance of coaches Ioan Timar, Iosif Varga and Ilie Balaci. Until his youth period ended in 1987 he was teammates with fellow goalkeepers Bogdan Stelea, Florin Prunea and Răzvan Lucescu. He made his Divizia A debut, playing for The Red Dogs on 18 June 1987 under coach Mircea Lucescu in a 5–4 loss to Sportul Studențesc București. That would remain his only appearance for the team, afterwards leaving to play for Autobuzul București in Divizia B. After one season spent at Autobuzul, Tene returned to Divizia A football at Flacăra Moreni. There, Tene spent two seasons, earning a fourth place in the first one that granted them qualification to the 1989–90 UEFA Cup, where he appeared in both legs of the 4–1 loss on aggregate to FC Porto in the first round. In 1990 he joined Gloria Bistrița and during the 1991–92 season he was transferred back to Dinamo, where coach Florin Halagian used him in 21 league games until the end of the season as the team won the title undefeated. In the following season, Tene played all four games in the 1992–93 Champions League campaign, helping them eliminate Kuusysi Lahti in the first round of the 1992–93 Champions League. Dinamo faced Olympique Marseille in the second round, where they drew 0–0 in the first leg but lost the subsequent game with 2–0, the French ultimately winning the competition. In the middle of that season,…

Tene played six friendly games for Romania, making his debut under coach Cornel Dinu on 26 August 1992 in a 2–0 victory against Mexico. He was selected by coach Anghel Iordănescu to be part of Romania's Euro 1996 final tournament squad, but he was not used in any games. In the same year he played his last international match on 14 August in a 2–0 win over Israel. For representing his country at Euro 1996, Tene was decorated by President of Romania Traian Băsescu on 25 March 2008 with the Ordinul "Meritul Sportiv" – (The Medal "The Sportive Merit") class III.

After he ended his playing career, Tene worked mostly as a goalkeeper coach for various teams, having only two spells as head coach at CS Otopeni and Sportul Studențesc. In 2013, he joined Laurențiu Reghecampf's staff, working with teams such as Steaua București, Al Hilal, Litex Lovech, Al Wahda and Neftchi Baku.
