Playing career edit

Born in Bălan of Hungarian descent, Selymes made his debut in Divizia A with FC Brașov in 1988. He later played many years in Belgium.

Selymes got 46 caps for the Romania national team between 1992 and 1999, and was in the squad for the 1994 World Cup, Euro 1996 and the 1998 World Cup.

Managerial career edit

In September 2010 Selymes was appointed as manager of Astra Ploiești.[2] He was sacked in August 2011, after only two games from the 2011–12 season, both lost by Astra.[3] He then took control of FCM Târgu Mureș, but stayed there for only three games, resigning after one draw and two defeats. He returned to Astra in November 2011. On 16 December 2011, he was fired from Astra, the second time this season.[4]

On 2 April 2013, Selymes returned to Dinamo, after 20 years. He signed a contract for two months to manage the second team of the club.[5]

On 17 June 2013, he signed Săgeata Năvodari that will make its Liga I debut.[6] On 6 January 2014, Selymes was appointed as the manager of the Hungarian League club Kaposvári Rákóczi FC. The club was relegated at the end of the 2013–14 season, and Selymes left.

In September 2014, he signed a contract with former Romanian champions Oțelul Galați.[7] He resigned in March 2015. In June 2015, he was named the new manager of Petrolul Ploiești.[8]

Personal life edit

Tibor is the nephew of Nicolae Selymes, who was also an international footballer who played for Dinamo București and FC Brașov in the 1960s.[9][10][11] In 2010 Selymes attempted to launch his own airline but ultimately failed when he did not pass the sufficient qualifications to fly an aeroplane.[citation needed]
