Rapid is looking for a new coach, after the separation of Marius Șumudică, and Gigi Becali, the owner of FCSB made a proposal to Dan Șucu regarding the vacancy in Giulești: Daniel Pancu, the representative of the U21, whose name is intense for the post of A1 from Grant.
Gigi Becali confessed that he had a conversation with Dan Șucu regarding the new coach of the Rapid, but did not receive a clear answer from him. He suggested that, in his opinion, Daniel Pancu would be the most appropriate, the consideration being that the former great striker is a convinced rapidist and never to go to the club. He catalogs him to be good at football and admits that he likes his way of speaking.

Gigi Becali: “I asked Șucu, but he didn't tell me what to do”
“I asked Șucu, but he didn't tell me what to do. I told him that, in my opinion, the most suitable, about which I know he is a quickist and who has never been quick, is a pancu, on paper. I say what I see on TV, what he talks about.
He's a smart boy and you see he knows football. And he said the same, also on paper, but in practice … it is possible to bring an Italian coach. To know that Pancu I like, “said the patron of the champion of the last two seasons in Superliga for Fanatik.
At this time, Pancu sets up the latest details for the European U21 Championship in Slovakia, where the “small tricolors” will play in Group A, along with Spain, Italy, two of the favorites winning the tournament, and the Slovak hosts. Romania's first match will take place on June 11, against “Squadra Azzura”.
Regarding the finalization of the lot, Pancu also awaits the selection of Mircea Lucescu for the parties of the first large representative from the beginning of June.
