Ștefan Cârjan (10 May 1909 – 18 November 1978) was a Romanian football midfielder and manager.[1]
Life and career
Ștefan Cârjan played over 20 years for Unirea Tricolor București, winning the 1940–41 Divizia A title as a player-coach.[1] In 1947, after the Communist regime came in Romania, the Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted Unirea Tricolor to merge with Ciocanul București in order to found Dinamo București.[1][2][3] Cârjan, together with the club's president Valeriu Negulescu and player-secretary Constantin Anghelache opposed the merger and all three of them were sent to jail for their opposition and because they were suspected of having sympathy for the Iron Guard legionnaires.[1][2][3] In 1948 Cârjan received a ten years sentence which was served in the Jilava, Aiud, Gherla, Pitești and Văcărești prisons.[1][2][3] After finishing his sentence, because of his refusal to collaborate with the Communist regime, Cârjan was forced to work for four years at the cutting of the common reed from the Danube Delta.[1][2][3]
After his death, in 1978, Cârjan's former player from Unirea Tricolor, Constantin Anghelache, who kept all his of his writings, released in 1996 the volume named În slujba unui rege – fotbalul (In the service of a king – football), which is a romanced presentation of Unirea Tricolor's history.[4] He also had a manuscript which he wrote during his period spent as coach at Universitatea Cluj, which was released in two volumes.[1][5] These are Ștefan Cârjan's volumes, which were released after his death:[1][4][5]
- În slujba unui rege – fotbalul (In the service of a king – football) (1996)
- Însemnări despre "U" (Notes about "U") (2004)
- Ideea U (The U idea) (2011)
