Ovidiu Burcă, former president and player at Rapid, but also a former coach of the second team of Giulesti, believes that Marius Șumudică committed a big mistake in the mandate on the White Bank.
Ovidiu Burcă, one of the people who were at Rapid at the time of the club's restart, in 2018, says that Șumudică was too emotionally involved, being a supporter and coach in Giulești.
Burcă's statement came in the context in which Marius Șumudică announced on Wednesday evening, in Sibiu, in front of the fans, that he is no longer the coach of the Rapid, after 1-2 with Hermannstadt in the semifinals of the Romanian Cup. The situation changed the next day, when, after a meeting with the shareholders Dan Șucu and Victor Angelescu, it was established that the coach continues until the end of the season.
Ovidiu Burcă: “Șumudică fell into this trap at Rapid”
“Șumudică fell into this trap of being too involved, he is a supporter and coach. He was wrong, he had to be more balanced. He knows football.
It seems to me that there is a lack of coherence in the tactical plane of the team, they have infrastructure, children's center, but they do not have the game model that will make them happy. From Bergodi you went to Lennon, then to Șumi, there is no consistency.
It's not just about the coach, but also what his club offers. There was a lot of emotion from Șumudică, the conflict with Sandu, with Viorel Moldovan I do not know what a relationship has, “said Ovidiu Burcă, at the show” Football Club “, from Digi Sport 1.
- Ovidiu Burcă was a player at Rapid before the club's bankruptcy. After the recurrence of the team from Giulești, he was president and coach on the U19 team and the second formation of white-tie.
