“I’m glad I can train again. I was injured for two to three months. I’m looking forward to starting training. I have worked with Mister before, I thank him for wanting me so much. I’ve worked in Satu Mare before, I had good results there too for what was wanted. I came to Poli with confidence, because I was told that it would be a long-term project and I hope to contribute, to meet the demands of the fans and together with my colleagues and the coach, to take Poli to the First League. Because it’s a team of tradition and Romanian football needs such teams, with many supporters”, Silviu Pană

Welcome to Banat, Silviu!
