Ex-Spurs, West Ham star Dumitrescu taking Steaua Bucharest job for no pay

Former Tottenham and West Ham United star Ilie Dumitrescu is taking on his first coaching job.

Dumitrescu has won the post at Romanian giants Steaua Bucharest - and is willing to work his first season without pay!

Gigi Becali, the Steaua owner, revealed: "He wants the job. He told me 'I'll take it, but the money doesn't interest me. I just want the respect'."

Dumitrescu, now 41, was a cult hero in England where he starred for both Spurs and West Ham during his playing career.
