Radu Sabo

Sabo started coaching in 2008 when he was a player-coach at Sănătatea Cluj with whom he finished the season in 10th place in the Romanian third league. In October 2009 he was appointed as Cristian Dulca's assistant at Universitatea Cluj where he stayed for two months, returning in 2010 as player-coach at Sănătatea.

Universitatea Cluj

Sabo was born on 13 September 1971 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and began playing junior-level football at local club Universitatea. On 14 December 1988, coach Remus Vlad gave him his Divizia A debut in Universitatea's 5–2 away loss to Victoria București in which he scored once. In 1991, the team was relegated to Divizia B, but Sabo stayed with the club, scoring five goals in the 25 matches coach Ioan Sdrobiș used him, helping the club get promoted back to the first league after one year. In the following four seasons he would appear regularly for the team, scoring a personal record of 12 goals in the 1995–96 season.

Gloria Bistrița and Baia Mare

In 1996, Sabo was transferred to Gloria Bistrița where he worked once again with Remus Vlad. He played four games in the 1996–97 Cup Winners' Cup, helping them eliminate Valletta in the qualifying round, being eliminated with 2–1 on aggregate by Gabriel Batistuta's Fiorentina in the first round. In the middle of the 1997–98 season, he left Gloria to join Divizia B club Baia Mare for half a year.

Debrecen

In 1998, Sabo went abroad to Hungarian side, Debrecen where he was teammates with fellow Romanians Nicolae Ilea, Liviu Goian and Cornel Cașolțan. He made his Nemzeti Bajnokság I debut on 1 August 1998 when coach András Herczeg sent him in the 69th minute to replace Gábor Bagoly in a 0–0 draw against Diósgyőr. On 14 November he scored his first goal in the league in a 2–1 away win over MTK…
