Adrian Pitu, the uncle of the player Alexi Pitu, spoke on GSP Live about the situation of his nephew who is registered in Denmark, at Vejle BK. The former Lighthouse player did not play any football in 2026.
Adrian Pitu, also a former Ligue 1 player, cited Vejle's management strategy, which would now only focus on local players. However, the team will be relegated, it is the last in the play-out with 6 stages before the end, having 10 points to recover from the first opponent above the line.
Pitu advises his 23-year-old nephew to “find a team to play for”.
Do you know Alexi Pitu? “He's a football player, but he was unlucky…”
“Alexi is preparing, he is very good. He was unlucky… Vejle, his team in Denmark, was owned by some Moldovans, after which it was taken over by a Danish consortium. Since then, the 4 foreigners, including Alexi, have not given a single minute to it. They only train, and the club plays the Danes. They want to grow them, their job.
The contract ends and I hope he finds a team to play for, because he is 23 years old and a “tool” of a footballer! I'm not just saying this because he's my nephew. If it was “prison”, I would say “Become an engineer!”“, said Adrian Pitu, at GSP Live.
12 matchesgathered Pitu at Vejle BK, in which he scored 4 goals. But he hasn't played at all since December 2025
Formed by Hagi Academy
Pitu, extreme left, 23 years old, was only good at Farul, the team that raised him. He was also legitimized in France, in Bordeaux and Dunkirk. It did not prevail in Hexagon. Last summer he moved to Denmark.
Alexi Pitu did not reinvent himself at Vejle, on the contrary
“At one point I was with Gică Hagi and I asked him about Alexi. “Tool, tool!”, he told me. After that, Gica let him play. In the beginning, Alexi had some problems… Number 10 means something else, you are not like every footballer. He was doing the defense phase 100%, but he was passed out on the attack, he couldn't do it anymore. “That's what Gica told me”, he told me. Bravo, but give an assist, a goal. It started like that and went outside”, Adrian Pitu told.
3 trophieswon Pitu cu Farul: the title, the Romanian Cup and the Super Cup. He has 5 goals and 11 decisive assists in 86 official appearances
Alexi is my style. He needs to play. I hope God helps him find a club to play for, because he has something to prove

The decline began in France
After 5 seasons spent in Ligue 1 at Viitorul/Farul, Pitu left Romania in January 2023 to go to Ligue 2, at Bordeaux, who paid two million euros for him.
For 3 years, the career of the footballer who can play both on the left side of the attack and in the role of “decar” has gone to the head. In Bordeaux and Dunkirk, he played a total of less than 2,000 minutes.
