“I cannot comment on who wants to sue. It does not give good. What can I comment is the reason from which he left (no – scandal). It's a thing that doesn't do well. We have affected us (no – scandal with alcoholic beverages)it was spoken that the club did not want Cristi before, it was a matter between the club and it came here, it affected us a lot.
One of the stores left, and the other was over. There are some things that have happened, but which have to stay in the club. We have affected us as a club, these things had to be discussed in the club.
Cristi also follows the school of coaches. I also had the presentation of Mr. Pederzoli. It was an opportunity that Dan Șucu is at Genoa and convinced. We chose to have an experienced sports director, if Dan managed to convince Mauro, it's great for us.
It was an opportunity that we didn't want to miss. There were negotiations with Mauro before Costel Gâlcă came, he knew who Costel was and we wanted it.
We had this discussion, it was a good pedderzoli solution. When this incident was, Cristi was disturbed by the things that appeared in the press. If we have something to talk about, we talk in the club. We didn't have a discussion to stay.
Not necessarily that the club management wanted to stay. He was quite upset. We had discussions about the post of sports director then was that episode. He then said he was waiting for the contract to end. He seemed that he no longer wants to continue, ”Angelescu explained, according to digisport.ro.
Would not have accepted to be the second hand or do other things through the club. He wants to train or be sports director. It was worse if I said “Look, we give you a post as an image director.” There would be no problem, he wants something else. He's probably upset.

The message of Cristi Săpunaru, after the separation of Rapid: “I did not receive any official proposal to remain within the club”
“Given that after 30.06.2025 my contract with FC Rapid 1923 was concluded, I feel it is the right time to make some details. Out of respect for the privacy clause included in the contract I could not speak public so far.
However, I want to mention clearly that I have not received any official proposal to stay within the club.
I thank the supporters who have been with me in all my career and to all those who supported me on the ground and outside it. After the last rumors he appeared in the press and in the online environment, I also mention that I did not intend or do not intend to sue the club or create waves before a new championship, but I am exclusively to the person who tried to stain my image.
I have not worked for 6 years for someone to question me the reputation built with sacrifices, work and dedication. This situation will be approached strictly legally.
I conclude this chapter with his forehead and gratitude for everything I lived here! Rapid was, is and will remain, my soul team! ”, Wrote Cristi Săpunaru, on social networks.
