Alexandru Pițurcă

Pițurcă was born on 28 October 1983 in Bucharest, Romania and began playing junior-level football in 1993 at Steaua București. He made his Divizia A debut on 13 June 2001, playing under the guidance of his father Victor in a 3–3 draw against Argeș Pitești in which he scored one goal. That was his only appearance, as the team won the title at the end of the season. He won another trophy when his father sent him in extra time to replace Adrian Neaga in the 2–1 win over rivals Dinamo București in the 2001 Supercupa României. Afterwards, Pițurcă made two appearances in the 2001–02 Champions League qualifying rounds, helping them get past Sloga Jugomagnat, but got eliminated in the following round by Dynamo Kyiv. He was loaned in 2003 to 2. Bundesliga team Jahn Regensburg, but played there only for the club's satellite team. From 2004 until 2006 he spent two seasons in Divizia B at FC Caracal and Universitatea Craiova, helping the latter win promotion to Divizia A. In 2006 Pițurcă signed with CSKA Sofia, where he played alongside fellow Romanians Florentin Petre and Eugen Trică. He made his debut in the Bulgarian league on 1 October 2006 when coach Plamen Markov sent him in the 68th minute to replace Robert Petrov in a 1–0 away loss to Botev Plovdiv. On 28 October he scored a brace in a 6–0 win over Chernomorets Burgas. Those were his only goals in the four league appearances he made for CSKA. In the following years he went to play in the Romanian first league for Pandurii Târgu…

His father, Victor, was a footballer and a coach.
