According to other sources, Huza played in 95 Liga I matches and scored 15 goals, but also in 200 Liga II matches and scored 56 goals.

After retirement, Huza continued to work for his favourite club, Jiul Petroșani, at the beginning as a coach in the youth center, subsequently being promoted as an assistant coach in the Liga II. In 2011 Huza was promoted as the manager of Jiul, in a tough moment for the club, after it was relegated in the Liga IV due to financial problems. Huza promoted Jiul and next season continued as the manager of the second squad, remaining in the 4th tier.
