Victor Pițurcă ((:ˈviktor piˈt͡surkə); born 8 May 1956 in Orodel, Dolj County) is a Romanian football manager and former player. He is nicknamed "Satana" (Satan) by the press, something he calls remarkable.〔http://www.digisport.ro/Sport/FOTBAL/Competitii/Echipa+Nationala/Englezii+i-au+facut+portretul+lui+Victor+Piturca+〕〔http://www.sport.ro/liga-1/piturca-este-mandru-de-porecla-satana-vezi-de-unde-vine.html〕 ==Club career== He joined Universitatea Craiova as a youth in 1970, aged 14, and four years later he was loaned to Dinamo Slatina, a club from Romania's Liga II, in order to gain more experience, before being called back to Craiova in 1975, making his debut for the team in November that year. As he was not used much by Universitatea, Pițurcă left the club in 1977 to join Pandurii Târgu Jiu and then FC Drobeta Turnu-Severin, from where he was signed by FC Olt, thus returning to play in Liga I. In 1983 he was requested by Steaua, helping the club to reach its highest peak in European football. Pițurcă won with Steaua the European Cup in 1986, the European Supercup in 1987, and was semifinalist in the same competition losing to Benfica in 1988. During the 1988-89 season the team reached again the European Cup final, but loses to Milan. As for domestic performances, Pițurcă won the championship with Steaua București five times and the Romanian Cup four times. At the end of the 1987–88 season he was the top scorer of Liga I and won UEFA's Bronze Boot. A very funny moment happened in 1989 during the European Cup semifinal played by Steaua București against Galatasaray in İzmir when the Turkish side's goalkeeper relieved the ball hitting Pițurcă's back and from there the ball went straight into the goal. However, the goal was not validated because the referee did not see what happened.〔(Pițurcă against Galatasaray 1989 ); YouTube〕 On 25 March 2008 he was awarded the Ordinul "Meritul Sportiv" medal — (The Order "The Merit for Sports Achievement") class II by the president of Romania, Traian Băsescu for his part in winning the of 1986 European Cup Final. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Victor Pițurcă」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
