“Il Luce” declared that Dan Șucu is “a great professional” and Genoa fans should be grateful that their favorite team has been taken over by a financially powerful businessman with a clear strategy for the future.

A great professional. He is one of the richest entrepreneurs in Romania. We’ll see how he goes in Italy: it will take some time, but I’m sure he’ll make it.

Genoa supporters have him to thank for arriving at a delicate time for the club. Give it time, it can do good things! And I’m happy that a Romanian bought a Serie A team”, said Mircea Lucescu, according to the report Changing Room Chronicles.

The legends of Genoa, appreciation to Dan Șucu

Gazzetta dello Sport talked to a few important names in the history of Genoa and the former players of the Serie A team spoke in laudatory terms to Dan Șucu, whom they said was appreciated for giving 40,000,000 euros of his personal wealth to the club.

“I think it is already a good step that the new president of Genoa has put 40 million of his personal wealth to invest in the club. It means that he has ambitions, as deserved by the history of the Genoa team and a passionate fan base like the «rossoblu». It’s a big responsibility: after the excellent work done by Gilardino, the choice to focus on Vieira’s work is proving positive in terms of results,” said former Genoa player Vincenzo Torrente.

“The secret to making Genoa grow again, in my opinion, is to capitalize and grow the children and juniors sector, which has always been the pearl of the griffon, with high-quality players brought up in the academy. I’ve seen some interesting players this year, I’m thinking of Kassa, Masini, Ekhator…

President Șucu seems to me a nice, clean, transparent man, who presented himself without big promises, and for that he should be appreciated. He has a lot of responsibility, but he started with his feet on the ground, and I think that’s a good thing. And then, he knows football well because he has been in the phenomenon for a long time. I really think he will be able to do a great job and I think it’s good that Zangrillo also stayed at the club,” said Stefano Eranio.
