Steaua have signed Bacău's Eugen Baciu for a fee of €230,000.
He is not a first team regular at
Steaua București, but when he is brought on the pitch, he does his job very well. He was brought at
Steaua București as a replacement for the injured
Mirel Rădoi, in 2004. The
Steaua București fans did not think that he was good enough to play for this team. His evolutions were hesitant in his first season in
Steaua București. He needed a longer period of adaptation. He started to shine in the 2006–2007 season of
Liga 1,
Mirel Rădoi and
Sorin Ghionea being injured in its second part. He really got it going, but the fans still could not forget his hesitant evolutions in the last two seasons.
He is a very solid and tough centre back. Despite not being a regular of the first team, Baciu is always an option for the coach when either
Dorin Goian or
Sorin Ghionea are not available.
In the beginning of
2010–11 season, Baciu was demoted to
the B squad after the arrival of new coach
Victor Piţurcă. Soon after Piţurcă left the club, new coach
Dumitrescu called him back to the first squad.
In June 2011, Baciu left Steaua.
International career
Baciu won a cap for Romania, in 2002, against
Poland.
