The locker room of CFR Cluj sits on a powder barrel after the penal championship start. The boss Nelu Varga is about to arrive in Romania shortly and to start cleaning.
- CFR Cluj-Hacken, the return from the Conference League play-off, is played from 20:30. The match will be LiveText on GSP.ro and live on the first sport 2 and Digi Sport 2.
Nelu Varga kills everything: “Without any regret and remorse”
GSP.ro wrote yesterday that Kenneth Omeruo (31 years old) and Drilon Islami (24 years old) are the first two players who will leave Gruia. And they are not the only two who are already doing their luggage to leave Transylvania.
The disastrous start of the championship for the Romanian vice -champion caused a real tsunami in Cluj! Dan Petrescu resigned after the historical shame, 2-7 with Hachen in Sweden, and the players tremble for their future at CFR.
Nelu Varga has not supported humility and is determined to take rapid measures, “without any regret and remorse”, as it has already transmitted to its collaborators. “Serious analysis and unprecedented measure”, notes GSP.ro information at this time.

Ioan Varga, the owner of CFR Cluj
Ten players “fly” from CFR Cluj
The businessman is currently in Africa, but at the beginning of September he is expected in Cluj. He has already announced his trusted people in the club that “the revolution begins and ended with the battles.”
Specifically, the owner and the main financier of CFR Cluj wants to give up, according to the information of the Sports Gazette, to no less than ten players! “Goodbye to the boyar and the luggage at CFR Cluj,” the owner of his collaborators said.
They were able to quickly draw up a list of the players from whom the club must detach. Footballers in which no prospects of the future, but also those with a low yield are seen.
And the leadership trembles!
Moreover, Nelu Varga is about to have a discussion with the books on the face with the club officials. Cristi Balaj, Marius Bilașco, Bogdan Mara and Răzvan Zanfir are going to enter an explosive meeting.

Balaj had resigned from CFR, after the humility in Sweden, but Varga refused the proposal and remained president. But apparently, the owner of the “railways” wants to strengthen the sports department.
Mikael Silvestre (48 years old), the former great defender of Manchester United and the national of France has a high chance of being named sports director and bringing players to CFR Cluj.
The vice -champion is about to sign with two players, Pape Abou Cisse (central defender, 29 years old) and Marcus Coco (right defender, 29), about which GSP.ro wrote exclusively.
