Former Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu international career is over after comparing Romania's manager to Mr Bean.

The controversial striker, who tested positive for cocaine in 2004 and was taken to court by Chelsea for breach of contract, posted a photoshopped image of national team boss Victor Piturca on his Facebook page.

Piturca's head was replaced by Mr Bean's in the offending image.

The ex-Juventus and Fiorentina star took down the image but it was too late as the Romanian FA found out and informed him that he will not be considered for international duty again.

Romania was beaten 4 - 2 on aggregate by Greece in the World Cup playoffs and Mutu's anger seems to stem from the fact that Piturca did not call him into the squad for the two-legged tie.

The 34-year-old has scored 35 goals in 77 games for Romania but never played at the World Cup.
