His impressive journey continues far from his comfort zone, where he'll certainly leave his mark. Management style and influence. Mister Tudorascu believes in the Dutch concept of Total Football, insisting that young players should be coached in all aspects of football rather than into specialist positions, helping the team both  with or without the ball. It is a system where a player who moves out of his position is replaced by another from his team, thus allowing the team to retain its intended organizational structure. In this fluid system, no footballer is fixed in their intended outfield role. He is also a big fan of 2012 of the new Belgian Football philosophy, which influenced him from that moment. During his coaching career, Mister Tudorascu participate in various activities to important clubs from Europe: Red Star Belgrade, Udinese FC Calcio, Chelsea FC, and Vfb Stuttgart. His favorite football system is an  offensive 1-4-3-3, balanced and very elastic. He is considered by the Italian newspaper Il Gazzettino one of the best football coaches from Europe for young adults, for his methods to manage and lead the teams in and out of the field.
