Dan Dumitru Stângaciu, (born 9 August 1964) is a Romanian former professional footballer who serves as a goalkeeping coach for UAE Pro League club Baniyas. He is best known for his spell with Steaua București in the 1980s and 1990s where he won the European Cup in 1986 and the European Super Cup in 1987.[1]

Career
Aged 18, Stângaciu signs for FCM Brașov but after only two years is signed by Steaua București, being the second goalkeeper option of the coach Emerich Jenei. As Helmut Duckadam retired from football in 1986, Stângaciu becomes the first option of the new coach, Anghel Iordănescu.
He spent the season 1988–1989 on loan to FC Olt Scorniceşti, as Steaua preferred to sign Silviu Lung, but returned in Bucharest one year later.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
