Daniel Pancu, shock intervention at midnight » Announces imminent arrival at Rapidul and an ignominious exit: “Mr. Shit called me”

The technician did not even want to hear about a continuation of the adventure in Gruia, being one step away from Rapid, where he will take over the vacant place after Costel Gâlcă leaves.

After the decision to break up with CFR Cluj has been floating in the air lately, with numerous rumors regarding a rift between the coach and the team management, he had an intervention on TV close to midnight on Saturday in which he announced that he had made the decision to leave a month ago.

The speech became increasingly harsh, accusing Iuliu Mureșan, the president of Cluj, of throwing “shit” at him through the statements made. saturday morning Mureșan had a harsh message for him, talking, among other things, about betrayal.

Daniel Pancu doesn't want to hear from CFR Cluj anymore

“The decision to leave CFR has been taken for a month, with certain people it's not possible, I haven't found… even if you have to live with certain people every day, you can on some days, but not for long, you can't go to work unhappy, as I said last night, you can't do it without enthusiasm.

Even if I no longer sign with anyone, I am no longer at CFR. I also have a clause, but I tell them that, if they keep throwing shit now, to call me when someone achieves 12 more wins in a row or if someone makes 40 points in a round or return. We are the best team, I was a champion team, CFR has been champion since I arrived.

I didn't bother anyone, I told the truth, God forbid I say anything else, I don't lower myself to their level”, Pancu began his speech at Digi Sport, extremely nervous, in the context of Iuliu Mureșan's message.

Pancu: “The players told me that the conditions are like in the Stone Age”

“I set a condition to stay with this team, I asked for three transfers, to fight for the championship from the first stage. There are inferior conditions here, two players told me that they are conditions from the Stone Age, much inferior. I am still negotiating with Rapid, there are still some conditions, we will probably reach an agreement.

I pay the clause, I give up the money, it's like a done deal, my whole career, both as a player and as a coach, I suffered the same. Last time I left 180,000 euros, financially only in loss I went to Rapid. But it's longing that calls me, like the song “Missing you calls me, mother”.

Now I will have the impression that I am arriving at Real Madrid, the base in Ștefăneşti will be ready in the fall, it was one of the reasons that convinced me.

The Europe bonus is cancelled, it's a clause, CFR earns a lot of money, the difference from 13th place vs. 3rd place when I finished, they win financially with me, they win on all levels and you throw shit at me, because that's what you're best at.

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 Ciprian Deac's celebration, how can you overshadow 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 him, I have no lie”, continued Pancu, who is just one step away from signing with Rapid.

Daniel Pancu, one step away from Rapid: “What is the risk?”

“There are still a few conditions, I will close the accounts with CFR next week, if I stay a day, a week at home, we'll see. It's a shame that it's happening like this for the supporters and for last night's celebration, it was fantastic at the stadium.

I've played a lifetime at Rapid, what's the risk? If I'm not used to it, it's not a risk, I don't think so, it's a team that's been trying to get something for 4 years, why don't we know that they can succeed with me?

It was clear that players will leave, it's work, now at the end things are wonderful, but it's easy to throw mud. He said he gave me a Bugatti or a Ferrari, but he no longer says he gave it to me without wheels. How the team looks now, this is work, there are sleepless nights.

I have not lied to anyone in my life, there is no lie anywhere, I have the right to go where I feel better, where I am appreciated, where there are better conditions. We are in a democracy, what, I don't have the right?!

Marian Copilu knows football very well, I was surprised, I am convinced that he will achieve many beautiful things there, he knows the value of the players, he is very prepared”, concluded Daniel Pancu's intervention on Saturday evening.
