Daniel Vasile Petrescu (born 22 December 1967) is a Romanian football manager and former player, who played as a full-back or as a winger. He is currently the head coach of Al Nasr SC in the UAE Arabian Gulf League.
He is best known for having played for Steaua Bucharest in the 1989 European Cup Final and winning the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup with FA Premier League club Chelsea. Petrescu also received 95 international caps for the Romanian national side.
After playing for Steaua Bucureşti's youth teams, Dan Petrescu was promoted into the first team in 1986 in a game played by Steaua just one month after winning the European Cup. Petrescu was loaned to FC Olt for the 1986–87 season, but asked to come back to Steaua Bucureşti in 1987.
He was part of the Steaua Bucharest squad that reached the European Cup semi-finals (1988) and the final (1989). Also in 1989 he played for the Romanian national team for the first time, but missed the World Cup of the following year due to an injury.
In 1991 he was bought by Foggia of Italy, in a period when the club saw promotion to Serie A. In 1993 he moved to Genoa.
