Timeline
Daniel Gabriel Pancu (born 17 August 1977) is a Romanian football coach and a former player who played mainly as an attacking midfielder or a forward.
He is the manager of the Romania national under-20 team
Pancu began his playing career at FC Politehnica Iași.
He made his debut in the Romanian First Division in 1995.
He gained his first cap for the Romania national team in 1995, and captained his country on several occasions.
He played a total of 27 games and scored 9 goals.
In the winter of 1996 he was transferred to Rapid București for the sum of US$200,000.
This was, at that time, the highest fee ever paid for a Iași player.
After two and a half seasons, he moved to A.C. Cesena, in the Italian Serie B, for US$1,200,000.
After a year, Cesena was relegated from the Serie B and Pancu returned to Rapid for US$800,000, where he stayed for two seasons.
During this tenure he gained the nickname "the Giulești Ronaldo".
In 2002, he was bought by Beşiktaş, at the request of the manager who discovered him, Mircea Lucescu, for a fee of US$2,250,000.
It was at Beşiktaş that Lucescu turned Pancu from striker into central midfielder with impressive results.
On the 28th gameweek of the 2004/05 Süper Lig season, during a derby match against Fenerbahçe, with the score at 2–3, Pancu replaced Óscar Córdoba, after the goalkeeper received a red card and Beşiktaş had already used all their substitutes.
After conceding a penalty, Pancu kept Fenerbahçe at bay until Koray scored the fourth goal for Beşiktaş in the fifth minute of added time.
Beşiktaş thus sealed a sensational away win over their rivals at Kadiköy Stadium.
Pancu was given the nickname "Kadıköy Panteri" (the panther of Kadıköy) and dressed in a regular goalkeeper's jersey with the number "1" the following season.
He later stated that he felt uncomfortable being labelled as a goalkeeper, as his native playing position was a forward.
In the winter of 2005/2006, he returned to Rapid on loan with the possibility of becoming a permanent transfer in the summer.
He was then bought by Bursaspor, but returned to Rapid again in the spring of 2008, scoring on his first appearance.
In July 2008 he moved to FC Terek Grozny and left the club on 30 November 2009.
On 11 December 2009, it was announced in the Bulgarian media that CSKA Sofia had an interest in signing the midfielder.
On 12 January 2010, CSKA signed Pancu on a one-a-half-year deal.
Pancu made his official debut for CSKA Sofia in the 3–2 win against Lokomotiv Plovdiv in Sofia, again scoring on his debut.
After a short spell in Bulgaria at CSKA Sofia, Pancu returned to Romanian football later in 2010 to play for FC Vaslui, but had a difficult time breaking into the first eleven with strong competition from Wesley and Mike Temwanjera.
During the summer transfer window of 2011 he re-signed yet again for Rapid București.
On 2 October 2018, Daniel Pancu was appointed as Rapid’s new manager.
He obtained the promotion from Liga 3 to Liga 2 after losing only 1 game.
In 2020, he was named President of Rapid București.
