Rapid Bucharest coach Daniel Pancu criticises club’s transfer policy

Coach Daniel Pancu has publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Rapid Bucharest’s management, blaming the club’s leadership for missing several key transfer targets. He highlighted the departure of important players such as Norwegian forward Tobias Christensen, who moved to Poland, and noted that the team’s recent performance – finishing fifth in the Superliga with 34 points and recording only one win in the last ten matches – reflects the impact of these missed signings. Pancu also pointed to broader issues with the club’s recruitment strategy and the conditions provided by owners Dan Șucu and Victor Angelescu.

The coach’s comments come amid a busy transfer window for Rapid, with numerous incoming and outgoing moves listed, but the perceived lack of strategic acquisitions has strained the relationship between the coaching staff and the club’s hierarchy.
