Daniel Vasile Petrescu (born 22 December 1967 in Bucharest) is a Romanian football manager and former player, currently the manager of Kuban Krasnodar in the Russian Premier League.

He is famous for having played for Steaua Bucureşti in the 1989 Champions League Final and winning the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Super Cup with FA Premier League club Chelsea. Petrescu also received 95 international caps for the Romanian national side.

Club career

After playing for Steaua Bucureşti's youth teams, Dan Petrescu was promoted into the first team in 1986 in a game played by Steaua just one month after winning the European Cup. Petrescu was loaned to FC Olt for the 198687 season, but asked to come back to Steaua Bucureşti in 1987.

He was an important part of the team which reached the semifinals of the European Cup in 1988 and the final in 1989. Also in 1989 he played for the Romanian national team for the first time, but missed the World Cup of the following year due to an injury.

In 1991 he was bought by Foggia of Italy, in a period when the club saw promotion to Serie A. In 1993 he moved to Genoa.

Petrescu signed for Sheffield Wednesday in 1994 from Genoa, after a successful World Cup for Romania. After one season at Hillsborough he signed for Chelsea and featured prominently there for the next five years. During his term at Chelsea, he was a member of the teams which won the FA Cup in 1997 and the League Cup and Cup Winners' Cup (both in 1998). After falling out with Chelsea manager Gianluca Vialli after a defeat to Manchester United, Petrescu never played for the club again and was not even selected as a substitute for the 2000 FA Cup Final against Aston Villa. Turning down a move to Southampton in August 2000,[1] he instead moved to Bradford City for £1 million, scoring once against West Ham.[2]

In January 2001, Petrescu's former Chelsea manager, Glenn Hoddle eventually persuaded him to join Southampton for a "nominal" fee.[1] He initially settled in well at The Dell, scoring against Leicester[3] and Manchester City[4] in his first few matches.[5] In March, Hoddle left "the Saints" to take up the managerial reins at Tottenham Hotspur and his replacement Stuart Gray dropped Petrescu, replacing him with Hassan Kachloul for the rest of the season.[5] After making only two substitute appearances in the 200102 season, Petrescu was released and returned to Romania.[1]

Return to Romania

Petrescu returned to his native Bucharest for a last season as a football player, with FC Naţional. His last match was the Romanian Cup final, on 31 May 2003. Naţional lost 10 to Dinamo Bucharest, during which Petrescu received a lot of abuse from some of the Dinamo fans as he left the pitch at the end of ninety minutes, even though it was the last game of one of Romania's greatest footballers. This was because he used to play for Dinamo's greatest rivals, Steaua Bucureşti.

International career

Petrescu registered 95 caps for the Romanian national football team. He made his debut for the squad in 1989, and played at four major tournaments: the 1994 World Cup, Euro 96, the 1998 World Cup, where the entire team famously dyed their hair blond after losing a bet with the team's coach Anghel Iordanescu, and Euro 2000.

In 1994 Petrescu played in his first World Cup in the U.S.. He scored the only goal in a win against the United States which saw Romania qualify for the second round as group winners. They were then handed a difficult game against Argentina which they managed to win, only to lose to Sweden on penalties in the quarter-finals, with Petrescu missing his spot-kick.

Euro 96 was a disappointment for Romania, as they lost all three group matches and only managed to score one goal.

At France 1998, he raced past his Chelsea teammate Graeme Le Saux and scored the winning goal against England, which effectively won them the group and ensured they would not have to face Argentina in the second round. In the end, the Romanians lost their second round game 10 to Croatia.

Coaching career

Rapid Bucureşti

Petrescu pursued a career as a coach. He resigned from Rapid Bucureşti in October 2004, after only six games and four months at the helm.

Wisla Kraków

On 1 January 2006 Dan Petrescu became the manager of Polish 200405 champions Wisła Kraków, replacing the temporary coach Tomasz Kulawik. Wisła finished second in the 200506 championship. He was dismissed as manager of Wisła Kraków on 18 September 2006, after unconvincing results in the 200607 season. Petrescu accused the players of Wisła Kraków for not wanting to train hard to improve their performances.

Unirea Urziceni

About a week later, he was appointed as the manager of Romanian Liga 1 newly-promoted team Unirea Urziceni, with which he has had considerable success since then. Under his management, Unirea Urziceni was runner-up in the 200708 Romanian Cup and qualified for the 200809 edition of the UEFA Cup. He was considered for the vacant manager's position at his former club Steaua after Marius Lăcătuş's resignation in October 2008. Dorinel Munteanu was appointed instead, but Petrescu has not ruled out a future role at the club. In May 2009, he went on to win the Liga 1 title with outsiders Unirea Urziceni, the first title for both Petrescu and his club, and consequently achieving qualification to the UEFA Champions League 200910, during which he led Unirea to a shock 41 victory at Ibrox against Rangers and a win against Sevilla FC at home, 10. He is the first Romanian coach to obtain 8 points in a UEFA Champions League group.

Petrescu resigned as manager of Unirea Urziceni in December 2009.[6]

Kuban Krasnodar

On 28 December 2009 the Russian First Division club FC Kuban Krasnodar hired the former Unirea Urziceni coach on a five-year deal.[7]

Dan Petrescu managed to gain the promotion from first season, winning the 2010 Russian First Division scoring a total of 80 points, with 9 more than the second place. His team conceded only 20 goals in 38 matches.[8]
