Mihai Stoica (61 years old), the president of the Board of Directors from FCSBand Sorin Cârțu (70 years old), the honorary president of the University Craiovathey commented the appointment of Daniel Pancu (48 years old) on the rival's bench Rapid.
MM Stoica believes that Daniel Pancu does not have enough experience as a coach at club level and recalled the impulsiveness of the coach, but also the speeches “from which you do not understand what he wants to convey”.
Mihai Stoica commented on the appointment of Daniel Pancu at Rapid: “He has no experience because he has not trained”
Present in the Prima Sport studio, Mihai Stoica and Sorin Cârțu compared the mandates of the Rapid coaches from the Dan Șucu era, and the FCSB official pointed out: “They had different conditions from each other: the training conditions, the infrastructure, the players for whom heavy money was paid”.
Later, the floor was taken by Sorin Cârțu: “Pancu knows Rapidu's style. He feels, hears the reactions, the comments from the stands. That changes you a little from the line you want to have and transmit to the team. He grew up there, he played there, it's really from their soul. I would like him to succeed, but after us.”
The word was taken again by Mihai Stoica: “I didn't say that he has assets. It depends on what will happen. There will be moves, players will come, players will leave. At Rapid there were no problems while the team was in the first two places, after which, suddenly, the problems appeared.
At Rapid, people live very intensely. I never believed that, with the ultra rapidity that Dobre had, he would end up being cursed by some spectators. Pancu knows Rapidul and that it is supported, indisputably, by both factions. There was a big schism between them and fines upon fines are being paid because of it. Rapid is a much harder club than CFR Cluj.
Angelescu worked with Pancu, he knows him. If we are talking strictly about Pancu, he has no experience. He is 48 years old and has no experience because he has not coached. He did not train at a high level. It was a little around Iași and a little around CFR. I'm talking about League 1.
I said it and I repeat it: I know him, I talked to him, we watched matches together, it's clear that he knows football. His speech is what it is, sometimes you don't know what to say because you don't understand a lot of what he conveys, but he is the opposite of Gâlcă, at least in terms of presence.
During the match, you rarely saw Gâlcă react or convey something to the team, he was probably trying to convey calmness and balance. Pancu is very impulsive, we know very well the episodes in his career. Episode Switzerland and others“.
