Daniel Pancu (48 years old), who is still contractually bound to CFR Cluj, spoke about negotiations with Rapid and made a joke on social media.
Daniel Pancu's separation from CFR Cluj is about to become official, and the coach wants to take over Rapid, as he admitted. He already has a plan for this summer. If he gets along with the people of Giulești, which is very likely, he wants to start training on June 15.
Daniel Pancu has a plan: “I will start training on June 15”
“I want to sit on a beach and swim, I'll tell you honestly. It's the first thing I think about, but it's still a little bit longer. If we start training, I start it on June 15th, so 5-6 days I can find it for sure. In two days I should also decide on my future, and my future would mostly be related to Rapid
It's not about the soul, Rapid at the moment has all the conditions, absolutely fulfills all the conditions. From the training base, from salaries, from stability.
It's a very strong club, it's my desire and I think it's normal for any coach to want to go there. There is no problem that he is not in the European cups, he will be there too”, said Daniel Pancu, according to sport.ro.

In the photo, he is wearing a suit and is right in front of the “citizens” stadium. The Manchester team is to part with Pep Guardiola at the end of this season, the technician who led the English for the last 10 years. The Spaniard managed to bring the Champions League trophy into the club's window.

Pancu does not part with Transylvania in the best conditions. In an intervention on television, the coach offended Iuliu Mureșan, the president of the club from Gruia.

“I did not agree with the phone calls received, let the one who throws shit call you. He called me, “Mr. Shit” called me, if you throw shit at me how can you be civilized?!
It was the celebration of Ciprian Deac, how to shade it?! I played with the second, third team, I kept my promise to the players, I live with the players, the most important relationship is the one with the players, no one can say that I lied to them, I have no lies”, said Pancu, to Digi Sport.
