Dan Alexa (45 years old), the former coach of CS Tunari, was presented at Polytechnic Timișoara.
Alexa was presented by Alfred Simonis, the president of the Timiș County Council.
The official statement: “Dan Alexa is, starting today, the new coach of the Timisoara Polytechnic!”
“Dan Alexa is, starting today, the new coach of the Timisoara Polytechnic! The former captain of the white-violets returns home to put the shoulder to the rebirth of Timisoara football.
I assured Dan by all my support, of the Timiș County Council and, together with the partners from the Polytechnic University and the Timisoara City Hall, We will make every effort to bring poles back to the elite of Romanian football. Success, Dan Alexa! May he be reborn! ”, Alfred Simonis said on social networks along with several photos from signature with Dan Alexa.
Poli Timișoara missed the promotion in Liga 2. It was eliminated by Olimpia Satu Mare, but the authorities have big plans for the new season. And they convinced Dan Alexa to return to the white-purple band. Next to it, the second of Stefan Grigorie arrived.

Dan Alexa played at Poli Timișoara from the summer of 2006 until the summer of 2011. He was one of the most important players of that period, ticking 147 official matches. He trained in Timișoara in two lines. On ACS Poli in the 2014-2015 season and ASU Poli, in the 2020-2021 season.
Given the friendship between us, we have known each other for many years, and the fact that he is attached to these colors, I called him the other days. I wasn't thinking that it would take the offer. But he accepted. It seems that the project here, the new stadium and the future base, and the attachment to the colors mattered more than the idea of starting the Liga 2 season at CS Tunari, which he had just promoted.
A man with his experience was needed, someone to be connected to Romanian football and to know the players in Liga 2 and Liga 3. Dan can talk to presidents and players and guarantee that this will be a serious project. The goal is for the year to promote in Liga 2, then the following year to reach Liga 1
