2011-2012 Romania Liga 1 Season Review

FC Vaslui were dominating the Romanian Liga 1 in 2011-2012 led by Brazilian striker Wesley until the last two months of the season when CFR Cluj fired manager Jorge Costa and brought in former manger Ioan Andone. With Andone in charge, CFR gained 19 points in eight games and won the league with a game to spare. Wesley ended the season with 27 goals and was then sold in the summer to Saudi club Al-Hilal although Vaslui will try to replace him by bringing in the leagues second leading goal scorer Marius Niculae, who scored 19 goals with Dinamo Bucharest. Stuena Bucharest, Raul Rusescu finished tied for third in scoring, with 13 goals, and is regarded as the top prospect in Romania Liga 1 football.
