Daniel Pancu (48 years old) “concreted” the 3rd place for CFR Cluj, after 2-1 with Rapid, but he is announced at Rapid from next season. This despite the fact that his contract is automatically extended at CFR for the next two years, if he gets a place in the European Cup.
“One day, it will probably be my turn. I am a founding member of this Rapid, I went on the road with the supporters and with the support of the Sector 1 City Hall“, said “Pancone” last night. A few hours away, the “bombshell” dropped: the former youth coach is elected to the boss Dan Șucu (63 years old).
“I can only tell you this: yes, it’s true, Pancu goes to Rapid. I can’t say more, I’m also friends with Neluțu Varga and Dan Șucu and I don’t want to discuss more. It’s a choice that Daniel Pancu made with his heart“, said impresario Ioan Becali, according to Fanatik.
Daniel Pancu still had a contract with CFR Cluj until this summer, and the Transylvanians were always very optimistic that the coach would choose to stay with the team, especially after he managed to revitalize it.
Daniel Pancu has already trained once in Giulesti. It happened between October 2018 and March 2020, ending with his dismissal. Daniel Pancu had taken over the team from Constantin Schumacher and managed to successfully promote it from the third league to the second echelon.
Sports director Bogdan Mara (48 years old) left CFR Cluj today. Owner Nelutu Varga brings Marian Copilu and Ioan Ivașcu.
He quickly parted ways with coach Costel Gâlcă. He missed all the targets.
