“Personal problems”, the officials say
The first information in the club's entourage indicated a possible conflict between the mayor of Chiajnei, Mircea Minea, the man with the hardest word at the club, and the team coach.
The mayor would have reproached the coach that the game performed by white-green does not rise to the level of expectations. Even though he managed an 8-0 with Ceahlăul in stage 3, Concordia obtained only 7 points in the first 4 rounds. From the GSP information, he is also reproached for not mastering the locker room. The victory in the cup did not relax the situation.
The officials contacted by the GSP vehemently denied the variant of a “break” between the mayor and the team coach. “He has some personal problems. There is no question that his post is in danger. He will probably get to the match if he will solve them. Those in his staff, Viorel Tanase and George Cotigă, are with the team, ”said Team-Manager Adrian Scarlatache and sports director Gabriel Tamas.

It was good, not just solitary actions, and that enjoys and gives us hope in the future.”
