Making this decision was not easy at all. I really liked the time spent at CSM Bucharest-working with a fantastic team, a dedicated staff and incredibly fans. Together we had a very good season and I am proud of everything we did together.
However, personal circumstances and the unexpected opportunity to take on a new role in the female national team in my native country made me deeply reflect on what is best, for me and for the club in the future. A big club like CSM Bucharest deserves this honesty and that's why I think my withdrawal from the project is the correct decision.
I am grateful to the club because he understood my situation and for the flexibility shown, especially at such a critical moment, so close to the beginning of the new season. I will always wear warm memories of the time spent here and wish the club much success in reaching the goals in the next season
