About Bogdan Lobonț

Bogdan Ionuț Lobonț (Romanian pronunciation: [boɡˈdan joˈnuts loˈbonts]; born 18 January 1978) is a Romanian professional football coach and former player who played as a goalkeeper. He amassed 86 appearances for the Romania national team between 1998 and 2018, representing the country in two European Championships. He was popularly nicknamed Pisica ("The Cat") in Romania, due to his quick reflexes and relative small body frame for a goalkeeper. After managing to keep a clean sheet in the first leg's draw, Ajax was close to semi-final qualification in the second leg.
