BUCHAREST, June 11 (Reuters) - Former Chelsea defender Dan Petrescu was named coach of Romanian league runners-up Targu Mures, the club said on Thursday.
"It'll be very difficult to repeat last season's results but we'll work to improve our performance and I hope we'll achieve at least the same next year," the 47-year-old, who signed a three-year contract, told a news conference.
Promoted Targu Mures were close to their maiden league title after climbing to the top of the table in April but lost three of their last four matches to finish second, three points behind Steaua Bucharest.
