On 21 February 2018, Bogdan Stancu officially announced his retiremend from the national team at 30 years of age after unsuccesally qualifying campaign. He said: ” I not sorry for myself but all off Romanian football. We failed at something which also means something on the social level. There’s regret at finishing like that, not because time passes. There is certainly a future for Romanian football, as we have pride, ability, determination and after bad tumbles, we always find a way to get back on our feet. I think the lads who were with us and, although it wasn’t enough, I hope that we gave them something. In football you win as a group, you lose as a group, you divide the credit and the blame. The coach is part of this entire group”. He later confirmed his international retirement on social media:”We are proud, we are stubborn. I am leaving a national team set-up that will know how to pick itself up again.Thank of all Romanian fans, teammates, most of all the goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu and defender Vlad Chiriches.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
