Born in Drănic, Gane played professionally in Romania for Universitatea Craiova, Electroputere Craiova, Dinamo București, Rapid București, and Argeş Piteşti; in Spain for CA Osasuna; in Switzerland for FC St. Gallen and Gr*hopper Zürich; in China for Tianjin Kangshifu; and in Germany for VfL Bochum.
He also represented Romania at international level.
Coaching career
In July 2009, he started working as *istant coach for FC Brașov. He was also an interim coach for FC Universitatea Craiova, during which time the club played a match against FC Dinamo Bucharest.
In September 2013, he became head coach of newly promoted in Liga I Corona Brașov.
He became manager of Petrolul Ploiești in March 2016, and CSM Râmnicu Vâlcea in June 2016, leaving that position in December 2016.
In February 2017, he was appointed *istant coach of Dinamo București under Cosmin Contra. In September 2017 he took up a similar role with the Romanian national team.
In August 2020, he returned to Dinamo, again as *istant coach under Contra. In December 2020 he became head coach after Contra's departure from the club. He resigned on 15 March 2021, after a series of seven games without a win in Liga I.
Trivia
His name is Tersinio because his father was a fan of Brazil's 1970 World Cup winning team and his favourite player from that team was Jairzinho, but he wrote the name by the way he used to pronounce it: Jersinio, that is why Ionel's nickname is Jerry. Later when Ionel was 14 years old and had to get an iden*y card, the people who made the card misspelled the name putting the letter "t " instead of "j", thus resulting Tersinio.
