Anton Doboș (born 13 October 1965) is a Romanian former professional footballer who played as a centre back.

Club career

Doboș began his career played in 1981 at Sticla Arieșul Turda. In 1985 he was loaned to Progresul Brăila for a season. In 1988 he moved to Universitatea Cluj and the following season for Dinamo București. There, he won the Divizia A and Cupa României in 1990. In 1991 he signed for Steaua București, where in four season he won four Championships, three Cups and two Supercupa României. During his spell at the club he also became an international.

In the summer of 1996, AEK Athens were looking for a replacement for their main centre-back, Stelios Manolas, who was in conflict with the president Michalis Trochanas and had derparted from the club's activities. Thus, on 11 July, Doboș was transferred to the Greek club[1] for a fee of 60 million drachmas.[2] He was a fairly solid defender, experienced, with correct positioning and fairly good technique. The change in the club's ownership later in the season, resulted in the eventual return of Manolas to the team, which brought Doboș in a difficult position. Nevertheless the manager, Petros Ravousis found a way to fit them both in the squad. During his spell at AEK, he won a Greek Cup and a Greek Super Cup. In the summer of 1999 Doboș joined the second division side Ethnikos Piraeus for a season, before ending his career.[3]

International career

Doboș made his debut for the national team in 1993, and got 23 caps, the last in 1998. He and was in the squad for the 1998 World Cup and Euro 1996. He scored one international goal, against Liechtenstein in 1997.

Managerial career

Between 2002 and 2005, Doboș was the president of Politehnica Timișoara, then known as Politehnica AEK – in honour of the Greek club where he spent the last years of his career.

In 2007, he accepted the offer to become U Cluj's president.[3]

Personal life

On 31 August 2008, Dobos had a serious car accident, which left him in a coma. He recovered after about a day and was again able to communicate with his family. But he remained with loss of memory.[4]

"I am feeling OK now, I am doing my treatment and resting. I haven't fully recovered yet though, I still have memory problems. If I know Lăcătuş? I know him just from what I saw on tape, but I do not recognize him. Only his name. I was also surprised when I learned that I was president of Poli Timișoara and Universitatea Cluj. I don't even remember that I've played football", said Anton Doboș in EVZ.[4]
