Florin Sandu Maxim (born 2 March 1981) is a Romanian professional football manager and former player who played as a left-back, currently in charge of Liga II club Corvinul Hunedoara.
Career
Steaua București
Maxim started to play football in his home-town, Brad, Hunedoara, at CIF Aliman Academy. He also played for Aurul Brad and FC Corvinul Hunedoara. Seen by Victor Pițurcă as an excellent choice for the left-back position, Maxim was approached by Romania's most successful club, FC Steaua București. He was later loaned at Apullum Alba-Iulia.
Apullum Alba-Iulia
Maxim made an excellent season in Alba-Iulia. He started regularly in the first 11. In 29 games, Maxim scored 5 goals.
UM Timișoara
Maxim's goals took him in the Liga I, at CSP UM Timișoara. His debut in the first Romanian division took place on 5 August 2001, when UMT lost 0–3 at home against Rapid București.
Sportul Studențesc
Soon after his debut on Liga I, Maxim signed with Sportul Studențesc. He was prepared, among other, by well-known Romanian coach Ioan Andone. Maxim helped his team finish 4th in the 2005–06 season, before financial difficulties caused the club to be relegated.
Farul Constanța
Following Sportul's relegation, Maxim joined Farul Constanța.
Poli Timișoara
In 2009, Maxim signed a three-year contract with FC Politehnica Timișoara.[1] The coach Gavril Balint insisted for his transfer. Maxim scored his first goal for Politehnica in a 4–1 victory against Gloria Buzău.
Petrolul Ploiești
In April 2012, Maxim signed a short-term deal with Petrolul Ploiești, with an extension clause for another year.[2]
