Tița began his football career as a midfielder with hometown side FC Drobeta-Turnu Severin and Corvinul Hunedoara. In 1992, he moved to Morocco to play for Olympique de Casablanca under head coach Ilie Balaci, where he won the Moroccan Football League and the Arab Cup Winners' Cup twice. He then spent a few seasons with Raja Casablanca and Maghreb de Fès before returning to his homeland to become a manager. He holds a UEFA Pro License.

Coaching career

Al-Mina'a SC

On 23 July 2019, Tita came back to Iraq and signed for Al-Mina'a SC club. The Romanian coach had around 5 to 10 games to look for the players he wanted to start the next season in a more positive fashion. Tita picked 10 players from the team, and wanted some new, substantial signings to improve the challenge Al-Minaa would be able to make in the Iraqi Premier League.
