Edward Iordănescu (47 years old) has a termination clause of 400,000 euros, which allows him to leave at any time from Legia Warsaw. Currently, the former coach has on the table an offer of $ 3 million for his entire staff in the United Arab Emirates, from the Jazira club.

Less than three months after signing the contract with Legia Warsaw, Edward Iordănescu could leave the Poland's capital. The 47 -year -old technician is desired by Al Jazira, as announced yesterday Antena Sport.

The offer is important, the Arabs pay the clause

From the information GSP.ro, the offer and interest of the Jazira are real. “Coach, I pay your clause!”, Was the message that the technician received from the reliable people he collaborates with.

Sources from the entourage of the former coach reveals that “he is not interested in the offer now and is focused on the European match on Thursday, with the Hibernian.” The duel takes place in the Conference League play-off, after the Legia has been eliminated from the Europa League by AEK Larnaca.

At this time it is clear that Those from Jazira, from the United Arab Emirates, are ready to pay the clause of 400,000 euros from Iordănescu's contractbut other details about the possible move have not yet been discussed.

Before signing with Legia, Edward Iordănescu received several extremely attractive offers in the Gulf area, which provided salaries of over 3 million euros for his entire staff. However, they did not tempt him.

The situation is repeated now. “The European experience was the one who made Edi wait longer and sign with an important team. She wanted to play in the European Cups, and the two matches in Conference are of major importance, ”explained the technician's collaborators.

Is there a chance that Edward will leave if he fails to qualify in the competition groups? According to the information obtained by GSP.ro, there are chances, but they are small. “Iordănescu did not choose the Arab countries in the summer at the family's request,” sources said.

It remains to be seen whether EDI will decide to continue on the European road or choose millions of dollars put on the table by the clubs in the United Arab Emirates.

Mirel Rădoi gave him out quickly

Edward Iordănescu would not be the first Romanian coach to reach Al Jazira. In the past, Mirel Rădoi, the current technician of the University of Craiova, also worked.

Rădoi led the team only 7 matches, managing a single victory, even at the beginning. In the next 6 games, Al Jazira recorded 5 defeats and a draw. Ranking in the 8th place, the band decided to break away from the Romanian coach in April 2024.

Currently, the team is prepared by the Moroccan Hussen Ammout, installed in the summer of 2024. But the new season began with a wrong step, Al Jazira losing 2-3 on Khorfakkan's field.

The technician signed a contract valid on two seasons, with a monthly salary of about 50,000 euros. In the agreement was included a “mirror” termination clause of 400,000 euros.

“When I heard about Legia, I knew this is the club that puts the opportunity to fight for what I want and love: trophies. I want to do. My conclusion is that we have to win the championship. For Legia, be four years old without a title is like I would stay three months without water. I can't survive!”, Iordănescu told the presentation conference.
