More about Florin Cotora
Florin Cotora, a Romanian footballer who played as a goalkeeper, died on October 19, 2026, aged 53.
Born in Sibiu on December 12, 1972, Cotora built a career in association football. His position was in goal, and the account of his playing years also connects him with his brother Lucian, who was a footballer.
The brothers played together at Inter Sibiu, sharing a club chapter in the sport. Their time on the same team brought Cotora’s football career together with his brother’s, while his goalkeeping role defined his own place on the field. After ending his playing career, Cotora worked as a DJ, taking up a different occupation after his years as a player. The record of his life therefore spans football and later DJ work, with Sibiu as his birthplace and Inter Sibiu as the club where he played alongside Lucian. Cotora’s life and career are documented through these links to the game, his family and his work after football.
