Dumitru Stângaciu

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 2nd in an all time ranking, tied with Giedrius Arlauskis, Ciprian Deac, Adrian Bumbescu, Mircea Lucescu and Tudorel Stoica, all with 7 championships won.

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.

[citation needed] In 1995, Stângaciu starts his adventure in the Turkish Premier Super Football League, playing for Vanspor and Kocaelispor.
