Played in his second UEFA European Championship in summer 2008, and won the last of his 73 Romania caps in 2010, more than 14 years after his international debut. • Moved from pitch to bench at Timişoara, working briefly as player-coach. After a spell in Spain, led Petrolul to 2012/13 Romanian Cup success, then returned to save Getafe from relegation in 2014 before trying his luck in China. • Having won the 2016/17 Romanian League Cup with Dinamo Bucureşti he was hired as Romania coach in September 2017, promptly winning six of his first eight matches in charge. Janne Andersson Date of birth: 29 September 1962 Nationality: Swedish Playing career: Alet (twice), Halmia, Laholm Coaching career: Alet, Halmstad (assistant, twice), Laholm, Halmstad, Örgryte, Norrköping, Sweden • Jan 'Janne' Andersson succeeded Erik Hamrén as Sweden coach after UEFA EURO 2016 having led Norrköping to their first Allsvenskan title in 26 years the previous autumn. • A footballer and handball player in his native Halmstad, Andersson became assistant coach to Stuart Baxter at the city's main club in 1990, going on to work under Tom Prahl and then Jonas Thern. • Andersson, who also coached lower-division teams Alet and Laholm, took the Halmstad reins himself in 2004 and in his first season in charge was named coach of the year in Sweden after steering Halmstad to second place. • After a brief spell at second-tier Örgryte in 2010, Andersson was named Norrköping coach the following year as they returned to the Allsvenskan, at first keeping them up then unexpectedly guiding them to the 2015 title. • Although his appointment as Sweden coach meant he missed out on leading Norrköping into UEFA Champions League qualifying, Andersson made up for that by taking Sweden to the 2018 FIFA World Cup via a famous play-off win against Italy and then guiding them to the quarter-finals in Russia. More success followed later that year, Sweden winning promotion to League A of the UEFA Nations League. 5 Romania - Sweden Friday 15 November 2019 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Arena Națională, Bucharest Match officials Referee Daniele Orsato (ITA) Assistant referees Lorenzo Manganelli (ITA) , Fabiano Preti (ITA) Fourth official Michael Fabbri (ITA) UEFA Delegate Rudolf Repka (CZE) UEFA Referee observer Marian Ruzbarsky (SVK) Referee UEFA EURO Name Date of birth UEFA matches matches Daniele Orsato 23/11/1975 7 67 Daniele Orsato Referee since: 1992 First division: 2006 FIFA badge: 2010 Tournaments: 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup Finals N/A UEFA European Championship matches featuring the two countries involved in this match No such matches refereed Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 05/12/2012 UCL GS Manchester United FC CFR 1907 Cluj 0-1 Manchester 21/08/2014 UEL PO FC Petrolul Ploieşti GNK Dinamo Zagreb 1-3 Ploiesti 08/12/2015 UCL GS Real Madrid CF Malmö FF 8-0 Madrid 16/08/2016 UCL PO FCSB Manchester City FC 0-5 Bucharest 06/09/2016 WC QR Sweden Netherlands 1-1 Solna 6 Romania - Sweden Friday 15 November 2019 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Arena Națională, Bucharest Match-by-match lineups Romania Final tournament - Qualifying round Group F Team Pld W D L GF GA Pts Spain 10 8 2 0 31 5 26 Sweden 10 6 3 1 23 9 21 Norway 10 4 5 1 19 11 17 Romania 10 4 2 4 17 15 14 Faroe Islands 10 1 0 9 4 30 3 Malta 10 1 0 9 3 27 3 Matchday 1 (23/03/2019) Sweden 2-1 Romania Goals: 1-0 Quaison 33, 2-0 Claesson 40, 2-1 Keșerü 58 Romania: Tătăruşanu, Băluţă (78 Ivan), Manea, Chipciu, Puşcaş (64 Hagi), Stanciu, Bancu, Marin, Mitriță (46 Keșerü), Grigore, Săpunaru Matchday 2 (26/03/2019) Romania 4-1 Faroe Islands Goals: 1-0 Deac 26, 2-0 Keșerü 29, 3-0 Keșerü 33, 3-1 V.
