The former selector of the Romanian national team, Victor Pițurcă (69 years old), continues to maintain himself in exceptional form. Its secret is a balanced life and daily exercise. He didn't make any exceptions even during the holidays.
A few months before his 70th birthday, the coach who had his last contract with a team 6 years ago, when he left in January 2020 from Craiova University, does not neglect his health and sets aside time for exercise every day.
Cristi Borceaformer manager at Dinamo between 1995 and 2012, trains weekly with Victor Pițurcă. The two respected their schedule carefully and did not make an exception even on holidays, according to sport.ro.

“I go to training with Mr. Pițurcă, yes, on Saturdays and Sundays, in the forest. We do 10 kilometers”, Borcea said. “He's coming again, let's do it again, sir… No more, sir, it's enough,” added Pițurcă.
Pițurcă puts his effort not only in running, but also in the fitness room, where he continues to push hard and work the most on his favorite chapter, the abs.
“I exercise around 3-4 hours a day. After 4 exercises it would be good to exercise for 30 minutes outside, a walk, and it's excellent”the former selector also said, for the source cited above.
FCSB, which has a very good, experienced squad. He has a chance to win the championship, if, of course, he will enter the play-offs.
I would like Universitatea Craiova to win the championship, because the fans deserve it. If it doesn't happen this year, it will be quite difficult in the years to come.
This is where the battle will take place: Craiova University, FCSB and Rapid
