Exclusive video | Vlad Munteanu, at Podcastul GSP “2 to 1”: “Luis de Fuente was my suggestion for the national”

“Before the appointment of Edi Iordănescu as a selector, we were talking to Burleanu about the coaches who were still refused to take over the national. At the moment I said:« Răzvan, no problem refused X, Y. If we still do not find, if Edi does not want, if Mutu does not want, I have a name from abroad, foreign coach ».

Then I told Luis from Fuente, who was the selected of the U21 team of Spain. It was my proposal.

He saw that he was a coach who wanted to reach above. I do not guarantee that he would have accepted to come to the national of Romania, but we would have launched the challenge to take over a representative of seniors. I know him personally and I talked to him several times. I saw that he was a coach, not a coach. An exceptional man!

After Spain won Euro 2024 with Luis Selector, laughing and joking, I reminded Răzvan Burleanu that I proposed to him. He replied, laughing: «Yes, Vlad, but we don't want to be European champions»“, Vlad Munteanu told the podcast” 2 to 1 “.

“I am 100% convinced that Răzvan Burleanu will win the elections of 2026, because there will be no one to run against him. It is not our problem, that we do not have to grow up a counter -candidate, it is not logical. If Burleanu is the best, that's the situation.

He announced that he no longer wants to run in 2030. There are people who see me, Vlad Munteanu, the next president of the federation. From this position, I tell you that if Răzvan Burleanu decides he wants to be president and after 2030, he has the transparency, principles and values needed to lead Romanian football.

He said he stops, but I just tell you that if he decides to run again, he would have no problem and do an extraordinary job. He wants 100% to do things well. “
