Robert Niță joins Rapid București board to oversee acquisition budget

Robert Niță was officially appointed to the Rapid București Board of Administration on November 3, 2026. He replaces Marian Mihali in this position. Niță will serve on the board alongside majority shareholder Dan Șucu and minority shareholder Victor Angelescu. According to reports from Digi Sport and Fanatik, his new management role involves deciding transfers and managing the team's acquisition budget. Fanatik additionally noted that he will manage sporting objectives for the club.

Victor Angelescu confirmed that the appointment occurred approximately ten days before the public announcement. However, Niță stated that he had discussed joining the board with both Șucu and Angelescu two or three weeks prior. He accepted the position immediately after receiving an offer from Angelescu. Angelescu described Niță as a close associate of the Șucu family who has been connected to the club since the era of Daniel Niculae.

Angelescu stated that the Board of Administration position held by Niță is unpaid. He clarified that no member of the board receives remuneration for this function. Despite earlier reports linking him directly to transfer decisions, Niță stated during a live Voyo Sport broadcast that his role does not involve transfers or leadership authority. Angelescu separately identified Marius Bilașco, Mario Nicolae, and Daniel Pancu as the individuals handling transfers and sporting matters at the club. Fanatik reported that Bilașco serves as sporting director while Pancu works in scouting.

Niță will directly represent Dan Șucu at board meetings. Capital injections for Rapid currently come from shareholders Șucu and Angelescu until the club achieves self-financing. Niță previously demonstrated his personal connection to the ownership when he embraced Șucu and his wife after Andrei Șucu scored against FC Argeș. Niță also revealed that Dan Șucu supported him financially when his son Andreas required surgery costing 20,000 euros, noting that recovery takes six months.

The former striker played three years at Rapid after transferring from Foresta Suceava in 2001. During his tenure, he appeared in 47 matches and scored 16 goals. He won a championship title with the club in 2003. His return to the organization in an administrative capacity follows this period as a player where he established significant ties to the team and its stakeholders.
