Managerial career

Between 2002 and 2005, Dobos was the president of FCU Politehnica Timişoara, then known as Politehnica AEK – in honour of the Greek club where he spent the last years of his career.

In 2007, he accepted the offer to become U Cluj's president.

Personal life

On 31 August 2008, Dobos had a serious car accident, which left him in a coma. He recovered after about a day and was again able to communicate with his family. But he remained with loss of memory.[1]

"I am feeling OK now, I am doing my treatment and resting. I haven't fully recovered yet though, I still have memory problems. If I know Lăcătuş? I know him just from what I saw on tape, but I do not recognize him. Only his name. I was also surprised when I learned that I was president of Poli Timișoara and Universitatea Cluj. I don't even remember that I've played football", said Anton Doboș in EVZ.[2]
