Cristian Tănase (Romanian pronunciation: [kristiˈan təˈnase]; born 18 February 1987) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a winger or an attacking midfielder.

Tănase spent most of his career in Romania with Argeș Pitești and FCSB, winning seven domestic trophies with the latter, and also had several stints at clubs in China and Turkey.

Internationally, Tănase totalled 40 caps for the Romania national team between 2008 and 2015.

Club career[edit]

Argeș Pitești[edit]

Tănase began his career as a junior at FC Argeș Pitești, and in the summer of 2003 was promoted to the first team which competed in the Divizia A, the top flight of the Romanian league system. He appeared sparingly during his first years with the seniors[3] and was subsequently loaned to Dacia Mioveni for the first half of the 2005–06 campaign.

Tănase totalled five games for Mioveni[2] and upon his return to Argeș became an important player, amassing over 100 games before his departure.[4]

Steaua București[edit]

On 6 August 2009, Tănase signed a five-year contract with FCSB for an undisclosed fee, reported by media to be €1.8 million for half of his economic rights.[5][6]

On 13 December 2009, he scored his first goal for FCSB, a 72nd-minute winner in a 3–2 defeat of Internațional Curtea de Argeș.[7] In the 2010–11 season, Tănase scored three goals—two in the UEFA Europa League and one from a volley against Pandurii Târgu Jiu.

In the following season, he netted the goal against CSKA Sofia that qualified his team for the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League group stage. Tănase further contributed with two goals against Maccabi Haifa in that stage of the tournament.

During the 2014–15 campaign, his last at FCSB, Tănase was named team captain.[citation needed]

Late career[edit]

In the summer of 2015, after six years in Bucharest, Tănase joined Tianjin TEDA in China on a two-year contract for a transfer fee of £700,000. The next year, he moved to Turkish team Sivasspor by signing a two-year deal.

After half a season at Sivasspor, Tănase left for another Turkish club, agreeing to a two-year contract with Kardemir Karabükspor. In January 2018, he returned to FCSB, for a six-month spell with the Roș-albaștrii.

On 20 July 2018, it was announced that Tănase signed a two-year contract with Eskişehirspor.

International career[edit]
