Dan Șucu announces why he did not name the sports director Cristi Săpunaru: “The best variant for the club is Mr. Pederzoli”
Șucu also made a reference to the episodes with alcohol in the locker room:
“I would not want to go into what happened in the club. I still hear about all kinds of problems. If there are certain violations of the inner order regulation … they happen in any club, only that at Rapid they appear on the first page.
Mr. Săpunaru was one of the variants we considered for the position of sports director. But the moment we have a variant of the extent of Mr. Pederzoli, I decided for the club the best option is Mr. Pederzoli. As for Mr. Săpunaru's future career, We are always available to talk to him.
We must get used to the idea that when you delegate something, the delegation must be complete. I just said that the team with which Mr. Pederzoli will work is the team he will choose. At the moment, the fixed point of this team is our chief scoop, Mr. Sandu ”.
The majority shareholder of the Rapid specified:
“The experience and career of Mr. Pederzoli speak for themselves. For the idea of sports director you can have several variants, but Since you have a variant like the one in front of us, things are no longer in question.
The position of sports director is extraordinarily important in a club. Even if not everyone does not understand the veracity of my words at this time, they will be implemented. Where we have recently invested (No – to Genoa), this position is essential.
The ability to create a team, not to have individualities, is mainly in charge of it. If there is someone who I am convinced of he is able to do this, it is certainly. ”
