MM and Pancu they are not in the best relationship since the period when the latter was on the bench of the Romanian U21 national team.

After the European Championship, the FCSB official claimed that the technician who was close to CFR Cluj made calls based on “rapidism”: “Pancu has a big problem: this addiction to cherry. He says that the players don't have rhythm, but you play with Vulturar and Grameni”, said MM at the time.

Mihai Stoica, about Pancu at CFR Cluj: “You mention in your CV that you coach Zouma and Slimani”

Three months after those statements, Mihai Stoica claims that Pancu is a good technician, but the fact that he talks too much could harm his career.

He believes that CFR Cluj does not represent the profile of the club that the coach said he would coach.

“I remember a statement he made after he left the national team and the club profile he presented as a potential employer didn't seem like CFR to me, but clearly if CFR is looking for you, you put in your CV that you train Zouma and Slimani and that's still something.

As a technician, the more you talk, the more you can hurt yourself. Leaders can talk, that's why they are leaders.

I have seen matches with Pancu and I can say, from the experience I have accumulated, it seems to me that he is a man who knows a lot about football, but at the same time a man who talks too much and that can be a big problem”, said MM Stoica, on Prima Sport 1.

Victor Angelescu is afraid of Pancu at CFR: “It's bad news for us”

present in the studio, Victor Angelescuthe minority shareholder of Rapid, praised Pancu and believes that this move will create problems for the people of Giulești.

“I don't know if I was surprised. I had heard that they agreed with Dan Petrescu, that they were waiting for him, and that's why I was surprised. A little surprised, because I understood that this was the strategy. But he's a coach I know very well, a very good coach.

He doesn't have that much experience at club level, but has had results with the national team. I think it will fit, we'll see. They will probably do better than before.

He coached Rapidul, he is a very dedicated coach, he knows a lot about football. It's his chance to show that he's a coach who can make a difference in the club team as well. It's bad news for us, I think it will help the CFR, I don't think it will have problems with Ilie and Louis Munteanu”, added Angelescu.
