CFR Cluj has a disappointing start of the season, and the last two results have worsened. The financier Ioan Varga is ready to take extremely harsh measures to the team, in danger being both players and people in the management.

The team from Cluj started the season with high expectations, the objective being the qualification in the European group. CFR has been eliminated from the Europa de Braga, and is now as eliminated from the lecture league, after 2-7 in the play-off. The situation is not great in the championship. From 6 matches played (a postponed one), CFR Cluj has gathered only 5 points. It was imposed only in the first stage, 2-1 with Unirea Slobozia, then two draws and three defeats followed.

Ioan Varga wants to take drastic measures at CFR Cluj

After accepting Dan Petrescu's resignation and appointed Andrea Mandorlini, the financier Ioan Varga hoped to see a change in the team, especially to the attitude of the players. But the benefit from the defeat with Steel, 1-4, enhanced even harder. And it is ready to make major changes in the club, both at the level of management and in the lot.

Departing the country, the businessman held discussions with several close friends and, from the information obtained by Gazeta Sports, He told them that he was extremely disappointed, not only the results, but also the game and the attitude shown is his footballers. And he announced to the collaborators that he will return to the country and will do a rigorous analysis throughout the club, being ready to break away from several players, but also from people from the administrative side.

“I change half the club!” It was the message transmitted by Ioan Varga to his collaborators.

Indeed, it is a very bad period for us. I think players need a recovery period, which is very short.

We have to solve a lot of problems, you can see. Both in the game and with everything that happens at the club at this time. The longer this period is prolonged, the harder you are to return.

Definitely they were demoralized before the match. That's why we wanted to pick them up a bit.

I somewhat controlled the beginning of the game, but after the first joke, you saw, everyone was heading in the ground. An attitude that is not normal when you play at CFR, regardless of the gap you do. There was more to play until the end.

– Laurentiu Rus, second coach at CFR Cluj
