Dennis Şerban (born 5 January 1976 in Bucharest) is a Romanian retired football player.
Şerban played for FC Farul Constanţa and Portul Constanţa (on loan) before joining the squad of Steaua București in 1996. A very talented playmaker, Şerban immediately became a very important part of the team which won the Romanian championship in 1997 and 1998 and played in the UEFA Champions League.
In 1999, he was signed by La Liga side Valencia CF. It normal conditions such a move would have been given wings to any player, however it was not Şerban's case, unfortunately. From a man used game after game by Steaua București he became an unused substitute at Valencia and that damaged his career.
After two years at Valencia in which he only played 11 games, Şerban is loaned to Villarreal CF, in Spain's La Liga, and from there to Elche CF. At Elche he had a good period, playing 35 games and scoring 11 goals during the full season, and as a result he is called back by Valencia CF only to be released after few weeks and sent to Rapid Bucharest.
In 2002, he returned to Spain to play for Córdoba CF and then Polideportivo Ejido but as soon as he was released by Valencia CF from his contract, he returned to Romania to join Petrolul Ploieşti and then Dinamo Bucharest.
January 2005 found Şerban playing for Larissa in the Greek second division. His club won promotion and, in 2006, he continued playing for Larissa, in the Greek first division, having a productive year with 27 appearances and 1 goal.
In August 2006, Şerban was signed again by Dinamo Bucharest. He was dismissed by coach Mircea Rednic in the early days of February 2007. Shortly after this, he started coaching Astra Ploiești and later Farul Constanţa.
Şerban won 13 caps for the Romania national side, scoring once in a 2–1 win over Yugoslavia.[1]
