Cristian Costin Dănălache (born 15 July 1982) is a Romanian professional football coach and former football player.
Dănălache began his career with Liga III club CS Otopeni in the 2003–04 season. He helped the club win promotion to the Second Division at the end of the season. In 2006, he transferred to UTA Arad, where he got his first taste of Liga I football, before signing for Unirea Urziceni. After two and a half years with the club, Dănălache won the 2008–09 Liga I championship.[2]
In 2010, he agreed to short-term deals in Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Before the 2011 season, the scouters of Jiangsu Sainty observed Dănălache a couple of times at the Turkish training camp. On 21 March 2011, Jiangsu Sainty formally announced the signing of the Romanian striker.[3] During his first months at Jiangsu Sainty, Dănălache didn not adapt well to life in his new surroundings. His game form finally began to rise under manager Dragan Okuka, who signed with Jiangsu in May. Dănălache got his first goal for the club on 29 May 2011, against Guizhou Renhe when he scored the winning goal to take a 1–0 victory.[4]
On 28 February 2014, Dănălache transferred to China League One side Qingdao Jonoon .[5] In February 2015, Dănălache transferred to fellow China League One side Xinjiang Tianshan Leopard.[6]
On 20 January 2016, Dănălache joined K League 2 side Gyeongnam FC.
