Mihai Stoichiţă is a Romanian football coach. The Kuwait Football Association hired him in 2006 to coach its national football team. The one-year deal is believed to be worth between $300,000 and $460,000. Stoichiţă's first task is to earn one point from the away match at Uzbekistan to qualify for a two-legged play-off against Bahrain in the World Cup Qualifiers. He is the current coach of Romanian F.C. Vaslui.

Stoichiţă faces a tough uphill climb as Uzbekistan has not lost at home in World Cup Qualifying matches since February of 2004. Kuwait ranks 56th in the current FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, while Uzbekistan ranks 54th.
