Club career

[edit]

Stănici was born on 17 September 1969 in Bucharest, Romania, starting to play football at local club, Sportul Studențesc.[2][3][4] He made his Divizia A debut on 28 May 1986 in a 2–2 draw against Victoria București.[2][3][4] He played his first three games in European competitions during the 1986–87 UEFA Cup, helping Sportul get past Omonia Nicosia, being eliminated in the following round by Gent.[3][5] In the following edition of the same competition he played five games as the team got past GKS Katowice, then Peter Schmeichel and Brian Laudrup's Brøndby, losing the away game with 3–0 but managing to win the second leg with the same score, obtaining at the penalty shoot-out a historical qualification to the next round where the campaign ended in front of Italian side, Hellas Verona.[2][3][6] At the end of 1989, Stănici signed a contract with Dinamo București, but it was annulled due to the outbreak of the 1989 Romanian Revolution.[3][4] In the 1990–91 season he netted a personal record of eight goals.[2] On 1 October 1995, he made his last Divizia A appearance in a 1–0 away loss to Dinamo, having a total of 228 matches with 34 goals scored in the competition, all of them for Sportul.[2][4]

In 1996 he went at Hungarian side, Budapesti VSC where he was teammate with compatriot Marian Popa.[2][3][4][7] He made his Nemzeti Bajnokság I on 10 August as coach László Dajka used him the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Csepel.[2][3][8][9] On 17 August, he scored his first goal in the league from a penalty kick in a 4–1 win against Stadler.[3][10] Stănici also played in both legs of the 1996–97 UEFA Cup loss to Barry Town.[2][3][11] On 10 May 1997 he made his last Nemzeti Bajnokság I appearance in a 2–2 against Zalaegerszeg, having a total of 21 matches with five goals netted in the competition.[2][8][12] Afterwards, coach Dajka used him as a starter in the first leg of the 1997 Magyar Kupa final as BVSC lost 8–0 on aggregate to MTK Budapest.[3][13]

In May 1998, he became a player of the American Minnesota Thunder, competing in the USL First Division (second tier).[2][3][4][14] In the 1998 regular season, Stănici helped the team earn a second place in the Central Division group.[3] In the later stages of the competition, he reached the play-off final for the league championship with Thunder, losing 1–3 to Rochester Rhinos.[3] Before the start of the 1999 season, in order to maintain his sports form, he played six-a-side football for the Kansas City Attack team in the National Professional Soccer League.[15] In the 1999 USL A-League season, he was a reserve player and during the competition he terminated his contract with Minnesota Thunder.[3]

Afterwards he signed a contract with Drobeta-Turnu Severin in Divizia B.[16] In April 2000, together with 16 other players, he accused the board of inducing the players to lose a match against Chimica Târnăveni.[16] After examining the case, the Romanian Football Federation punished the clubs with mutual walkovers for both league matches and deducted six points from Drobeta-Turnu Severin.[16] In May 2001, Stănici signed a contract with Valur, leaving a month later after only a few games played.[2][3][4][17]

He led as coach Unirea Urziceni during the second part of the 2004–05 Divizia B season in which he also played one game, helping the team finish on the fifth place.[2][3][18]
