He played for two games for Romania under coach Augustin Botescu at the 1960 European Nations' Cup quarter-finals where they were defeated by Czechoslovakia, who advanced to the final tournament.[2][4][5][6] He spent his entire professional career with Progresul București, where he made over 200 league appearances.[3]
After his playing days ended, Mândru became a coach and managed several Algerian and Moroccan clubs. He also managed clubs in Canada and the United States alongside his partner Eddie Firmani.[7]
