Victor Pi?urc? ( Romanian pronunciation: [?viktor pi?t?surk?] ; born 8 May 1956) is a Romanian professional football manager and former player.

Club career [ edit ]

Victor Pi?urc? was born on 8 May 1956 in Orodel , Dolj County , Romania, starting to play football in 1964 at the youth center of Universitatea Craiova , being loaned in 1974 for one year to Dinamo Slatina in Divizia B , where he started his senior career. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] When he returned to "U" Craiova, coach Constantin Cern?ianu gave him Divizia A debut on 19 November 1975 in a 4?0 home win over Arge? Pite?ti . [1] [2] However during his two seasons spent at Craiova, he played rarely, so he went to play again in Divizia B, this time at Pandurii Targu Jiu under coach Constantin O?et for whom in his first season from the total of 37 goals scored by the team, Pi?urc? scored over half but the team relegated to Divizia C . [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] In the 1978?79 Divizia C season, Pi?urc? scored 46 goals of the team's total of 98, helping it promote back to Divizia B after one year. [5] [6] [7] In 1979 he went back to Divizia A football, when he went to play for Olt Scornice?ti , making regular appearances during his four-years spell. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

In July 1983 he was wanted by Steaua Bucure?ti where Constantin Cern?ianu was coaching, but his coach from Scornice?ti, Florin Halagian tried to keep him there, eventually at the insistence of Emerich Jenei the transfer to Steaua was fulfilled. [2] [3] [8] In his first season , he did not win any trophies, but afterwards he helped the team conquer five league titles in a row, starting with The Double from the 1984?85 season when Pi?urc? was the second top-goalscorer of the league, having only one goal behind Sportul Studen?esc 's Gheorghe Hagi , as he scored 19 goals scored in the 32 matches coaches Halagian and Jenei used him, also scoring the decisive goal of the 2?1 victory from the Cupa Romaniei final over his former team, Universitatea Craiova. [1] [2] [4] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] In the following season , he was again the league's second top-goalscorer, this time with two goals behind Hagi, having scored 29 in the 34 appearances given to him by Jenei who also used him in all the nine games from the historical European Cup campaign in which Pi?urc? was the team's top-goalscorer, netting five times in all the home matches, one against each of Vejle , Budapest Honved and Kuusysi Lahti and a brace in the 3?0 win from the semifinals with Anderlecht , then playing as a starter until the 111th minute of extra time when he was replaced with Marin Radu in the eventual 2?0 victory after the penalty shoot-out from the final against Barcelona . [1] [2] [4] [5] [9] [10] [11] [12] [14] He started the 1986?87 season by playing all the minutes in the 1?0 win over Dynamo Kyiv from the European Super Cup and in the loss from the Intercontinental Cup with the same score in front of River Plate , by the end of it helping Steaua win another Double, coaches Jenei and Anghel Iord?nescu giving him 31 league appearances in which he scored 22 goals, being surpassed only by Dinamo Bucure?ti 's controversial European Golden Shoe winner, Rodion C?m?taru who scored double, also appearing the full 90 minutes in the 1?0 victory from the Cupa Romaniei final over Dinamo. [1] [2] [4] [5] [10] [11] [12] [15] In the next season , Pi?urc? was used by Iord?nescu in 33 league games in which he scored 34 goals, being the top-goalscorer of the championship and European Bronze Boot as only Tanju Colak (39) and John Eriksen (36) scored more and he made another continental performance with the team as they reached the semi-finals of the European Cup where they lost in favor of Benfica , Pi?urc? contributing with one goal scored against Rangers in the 8 matches played. [1] [2] [4] [5] [10] [11] [12] [16] In his last season spent with The Military Men , the team won another Double, Iord?nescu using him in 22 league matches, managing to score 23 goals, also appearing the whole game in another 1?0 victory in the Cupa Romaniei final over rivals Dinamo and made another European performance by playing 7 games in the European Cup campaign, including all the minutes from the 4?0 loss in front of AC Milan from the final , scoring one goal in the semi-finals against Galatasaray when goalkeeper Zoran Simovi? kicked the ball in the back of his head and it went in the goalpost but the referee wrongfully cancelled the goal. [1] [2] [4] [11] [12] [17] His last Divizia A game took place on 17 June 1989 in Steaua's 4?1 home win over Flac?ra Moreni with him scoring a goal, having a total of 301 appearances with 65 goals in the competition and a total of 29 matches and 6 goals in European competitions. [1] [2] [4] [5]

After he won the European Cup in 1986, Pi?urc? had an offer to play for Anderlecht but was not allowed to go there by the communist regime , however in 1989 with the help of Valentin Ceau?escu , he and teammate Tudorel Stoica were allowed to transfer at Lens in French Division 2 where after one season, Pi?urc? ended his playing career. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [18]

On 25 March 2008, he was decorated by the president of Romania , Traian B?sescu for the winning of the 1985?86 European Cup with Ordinul "Meritul Sportiv" ? (The Order "The Sportive Merit") class II. [19]

International career [ edit ]

Victor Pi?urc? played 13 games and scored 6 goals at international level for Romania , making his debut on 27 March 1985 under coach Mircea Lucescu in a friendly which ended 0?0 with Poland . [20] [21] After making two appearances at the 1986 World Cup qualifiers , he scored his first two goals for the national team in a 3?1 win over Norway in a friendly game. [20] He scored another brace in a 4?2 friendly victory with Israel and made five appearances at the Euro 1988 qualifiers where he scored two goals in two victories with Albania and Spain , also making his last appearance for Romania on 18 November 1987 in a 0?0 with Austria .

Managerial career [ edit ]

Victor Pi?urc?'s first coaching experience began in March 1992 at Steaua Bucure?ti , winning on his debut with 3?0 in front of rivals Rapid Bucure?ti , finishing the season on the second place and winning the Cupa Romaniei after the victory at the penalty shoot-out in the final against Politehnica Timi?oara . [2] [3] [4] [5] [22] His following coaching spell began in 1994 at Universitatea Craiova with whom he finished second in the championship at the end of the 1994?95 season. [2] [3] [4] [5] [23] [24]

In 1996, he was named coach of Romania's under-21 side, leading the team to its first qualification to a European Championship in 1998, which ended up being hosted by Romania. [2] [3] [4] [5] [23] [25] [26] [27] The qualification was succeeded after the team won the group 8 of the qualifiers with 8 victories out of 8 matches against Iceland , Republic of Ireland , Lithuania and Macedonia . [25] At the final tournament which was composed of 8 teams, they were eliminated by Netherlands with 2?0 in the quarter-finals, also losing the games for the 5th-8th places and for the 7th place in front of Germany , respectively Russia . [25] [26] [27] However from the 20-players squad that took part at that tournament, only five did not get to play for Romania's senior team throughout their career. [25]

In 1998, following the success with the under-21 side, Pi?urc? was appointed as Romania's seniors manager, making his debut on 17 August in a friendly which ended 0?0 with Norway . [2] [3] [4] [22] [23] [28] [29] He qualified the team to the Euro 2000 , as he won the qualification group with seven victories and three draws in front of Portugal , Slovakia , Hungary , Azerbaijan and Liechtenstein . [2] [3] [4] [5] [28] [23] [30] However, despite this performance, Pi?urc? was sacked in late 1999, not having the chance to take the squad to the final tournament, the reason was an argument he had with Romania's best players, Gheorghe Hagi , Gheorghe Popescu and Dan Petrescu . [2] [3] [4] [5] [23] [29] [31]

At the beginning of the year 2000, he returns at Steaua, finishing the championship on the 3rd position, but managed to win the following one and also the 2001 Supercupa Romaniei with a 2?1 victory against Dinamo Bucure?ti . [2] [4] [5] [23] [32] He resigned in June 2002 after an argument with the club's chairman, Gigi Becali but they reconciled and Pi?urc? came back in October the same year. [2] He finished the 2002?03 and 2003?04 seasons on the second place, also guiding the team in the 2003?04 UEFA Cup season when The Red and Blues eliminated in the first two rounds Neman Grodno and Southampton , obtaining a 1?1 in the first leg of the following round with Liverpool , losing the away leg with 1?0, thus the campaign ending. [2] [4] [33] In July 2004, Pi?urc? resigned after another argument with Becali who fired player Romeo P?dure? without his approval. [34]

In December 2004 he was appointed manager of Romania for the second time, in a moment when the qualification to the 2006 World Cup was pretty much compromised, being unable to qualify even do he obtained good results in the qualifiers as a 2?0 home win over Czech Republic . [2] [3] [4] [5] [23] [28] [35] He won the Euro 2008 qualifying group G in front of Netherlands against whom he obtained a historical first ever victory with 1?0 on the Farul stadium . [2] [3] [4] [5] [23] [28] [29] [36] This performance helped him earn the 2007 Gazeta Sporturilor Romania Coach of the Year award. [37] At the Euro 2008 final tournament, Romania was drawn in the "Group of Death" where they obtained two points in their first two games against the finalists of the previous World Cup, 0?0 with France and 1?1 against Italy , but losing 0?2 to the Netherlands , finishing the group on the third place, thus being eliminated from the competition and being very criticized by the press for the defensive style imposed on the team, especially in the last match. [2] [4] [23] [28] [31] [29] [38] After Euro 2008, Romania showed an increasingly poor form at the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign , as in the first two games Romania lost 0?3 against Lithuania at home and four days later secured a difficult 1?0 victory against the Faroe Islands . [2] [5] [23] [28] After a 2?2 with France , he lost the next two games with Serbia and Austria . [28] Considering these results, the Romanian Football Federation released Victor Pi?urc? in April 2009, appointing R?zvan Lucescu instead. [2] [5] [23] [28]

In 2010, he had two short spells as manager at Steaua and Universitatea Craiova , leaving from both clubs after conflicts with the owners. [2] [4] [23]

On 14 June 2011, he returned for a third spell in charge of the Romania national team when the chances for qualifying at the Euro 2012 were very low, his objective being to create a team which would qualify for the Euro 2016 . [2] [39] He was close to qualify at the 2014 World Cup , finishing the qualification group on the second place behind Netherlands but above Turkey , Hungary , Estonia and Andorra , thus reaching the play-off where they lost 4?2 with Greece . [2] [28] He started with two victories against Greece and Finland and a draw with Hungary at the Euro 2016 qualifiers , then leaving the team to go in Saudi Arabia, but Romania still managed to qualify at the final tournament by using many of the young players that Pi?urc? promoted in the last years. [2] [28] [40] Victor Pi?urc? has a total of 96 games from his three spells at the national team consisting of 53 victories, 23 draws and 20 losses. [2] [28]

On 16 October 2014, he signed a two-year deal with Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. [2] [4] [41] In January 2015, he was heavily criticized for excluding Al-Ittihad's top stars Mohammed Noor and Hamad Al-Montashari due to disobeying training procedure. [42] He was dismissed by the club in June 2015 because the clubs officials were unsatisfied that the team finished the season on the fourth place. [4] [43] He was replaced by Laszlo Boloni but came back at the club in December the same year only to leave again in July 2016. [2] [4] [44]

On 22 August 2019, he signed a contract with Universitatea Craiova , resigning in January 2020, being unsatisfied that the clubs officials did not want to transfer the players he wanted. [3] [4] [45] [46] Victor Pi?urc? has a total of 204 matches as a manager in the Romanian top-division, Liga I, consisting of 116 victories, 43 draws and 45 losses. [45] [47]

Controversy [ edit ]

in 1981, Victor Pi?urc? and other people were arrested in Targu Jiu for playing barbut which is a dice game that was illegal during the communist regime . [2] [3] [7] [48] [49] [50] He was sentenced to six months in prison but eventually got released after about two as his club Olt Scornice?ti insisted for the re-trial. [2] [3] [7] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53]

In May 2008, Gigi Becali , the owner of FCSB , had promised €1.7 million to the footballers of Universitatea Cluj so that they would not succumb to CFR Cluj , sending one of his men with the money in Cluj-Napoca where he ended up detained by the National Anticorruption Directorate . [3] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] A few days later, Becali claimed the money was to buy a land and presented a sales-purchase contract that he claimed was signed on April 15, one of the signatures being of Pi?urc?. [51] [52] [54] [57] In 2013, Pi?urc? received a one-year suspended sentence in the case, being found guilty of perjury in favor of Becali. [3] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [58]

Personal life [ edit ]

At Steaua Bucure?ti and FC U Craiova he coached his son, Alexandru who was a striker. [59] [60] [61] Victor Pi?urc? is the cousin of Eugen Neagoe who was also a footballer and a coach. [62] [63] Another one of his cousins, Florin Pi?urc? was a footballer who played for Drobeta-Turnu Severin in Divizia C , dying in December 1978 at age 20, shortly after playing a game. [64]

Victor Pi?urc? was nicknamed Satana (" Satan ") by the press, something he called "remarkable". [2] [45] [65]
