Sepsi enters a new era after the relegation to Liga 2. The management of the club in Sfântu Gheorghe has already begun the renegotiations of contracts with the “veterans” of the lot, in the context in which the status of the band will be quite different as a result of the counter-performance last season.
For the players under the command of Ovidiu Burcă, recently installed the head coach, follows a drastic salary ceiling, the final goal being to reduce the total budget.
Laszlo Dioszegi is willing to cut into living meat, especially among the footballers who have disappointed him. Moreover, if they do not submit to the club's request, they are free to transfer, but in no case without costs.
Austerity at Sepsi. Salaries halved in Liga 2
Sepsi plans a reconstruction from the team's foundations, without endangering the return to the Superliga from the first season, so that the next few days are decisive for many of the components.
The financier at the mandate on President Attila Hadnagy to talk to each player separately to establish, in agreement, the reduction of remuneration.
From the information of the Sports Gazette, Dioszegi decided that no salary would exceed the amount of 5000 euros a month in Liga 2, which many of the players consider too small, the objective being that the total budget of the club does not exceed 4 million euros.
The threshold is an ambitious one given that the financial resources in the previous edition were three times higher.
Gabriel Debeljuh (11,000 euros), Roland Niczuly, Mino Sota and Cosmin Matei – all paid with 10,000 euros per month – are some of the “champions” of the Lefi.
For those who do not want to accept the new conditions, the club requests transfer amounts between 150,000 and 200,000 euros. This is also the case of Denis Haruț (26 years old), whose traces are Dinamo. The central defender is injured and could only return to the field in September.
Instead, management wants to compensate for adjustment by offering performance bonuses.

Ovidiu Burcă is based on young people. The U21 player, in the gate
Sepsi's new coach aims to give, in the next period, several young people raised in the Academy.
A young man will also enter the goals, Hunor Gedo (21 years old), the one who will represent the first option eligible for the U21 rule. Szilard Gyenge (24 years old) could be a reserve, given that for Roland Niczza a separation solution is sought, as GSP informed a few days ago.
The Goalkeeper was accused, last season, that he “sabotaged” Dorinel Munteanu, in a period when the team from Sfântu Gheorghe still kept rescue from relegation. The same would have done the same in the case of Bernd Storck, dismissed by Laszlo Dioszegi on the grounds that he had lost control over the locker room.
Ovidiu Burcă is not going to rely on his services.
