Vasile Valentin Năstase (born 4 October 1974 in Călineşti) is a Romanian retired footballer who played as a defender. He is currently a manager.

Career

In 2002, he was signed by Venezia, but owner of Venezia, Maurizio Zamparini transferred most of the team players to his new owned club U.S. Città di Palermo.

In 2004, Palermo exchanged Năstase to Bologna for Cristian Zaccardo.

After a spell with Ascoli, Năstase returned to Romania in 2007, joining Dinamo Bucharest. However, he left the club after two months, having been made the scapegoat for the club's UEFA Champions League defeat against Lazio.

In 2008, he joined the German Regionalliga Nord club Eintracht Braunschweig and on 30 June 2009 released.
