Romunom has successfully convinced one of the best players in the Prva liga Telemach to join their ranks! Raul Florucz, who has been shining in the jersey of Olimpija, announced that he has accepted an offer from Romania, the country from which his roots originate. The winger was born in Vöcklabruck, Austria, and was also an Austrian youth international. However, his impressive performances in Slovenia caught the attention of the Romanians, who launched an “offensive” in the battle for his international future and were successful.
“It will be an honor for me to represent the country of my parents, for which my grandfather played, who was a Romanian handball representative. I have started the process of obtaining Romanian citizenship,” Raul Florucz, 23, told Romanian media. He is also honored that even the legendary Romanian coach Mircea Lucescu has shown interest in him.
“It is an honor to have the coach’s attention; it truly pleases me that this is the case. He came to watch me in Slovenia, and he even considers me in the context of the Romanian national team. This is something extraordinary and makes me very happy,” added Raul Florucz, who moved to Ljubljana last summer after previously playing in Croatia.
