Exclusively “The following days are crucial!” »Edi Iordănescu, at one step to leave the Legia and take over the Romanian national. Details and information from the scenes

Edward Iordănescu is going through a difficult time in Legia Warsaw, where his team is increasingly challenged, and his future on the Polish bank is uncertain. Despite the pressures, Iordănescu jr. He does not intend to resign, but if the heads of Warsaw will terminate his contract, EDI may be tempted to return to the national team of Romania.
Edward Iordănescu (47 years old) has an infernal mission in Poland! After losing the limit, 0-1, in the group of league conference with Samsunspor, the Legia was also humiliated in the championship.
This time, in front of Górnik Zabrze, score 1-3. Currently, he ranks 7th after ten matches, seven points away from the leader, with a minus match.
The results and the team's game of the last period did not do well to the supporters, nor to the Warsaw leaders.
The Poles wrote today that, for the first time from his appointment in the summer, Edward Iordănescu's post is in great danger. Aleksandar Vuković (46 years old), free of contract, would already be prepared to take over the Legia team.
“There are both external and internal pressures to dismiss it!”
Ever since he came to Poland, Iordănescu has ten victories, five draws and four defeats, and the former team of the national team can leave at any time from Warsaw. If he is dismissed, he will receive 400,000 euros from the club.
When signing the contract, EDI had three objectives that it is obliged by the contract to meet.
The first: winning the Poland Super Cup, which he did, 2-1 with Lech Poznaț. The second objective: the qualification in the groups of a European competition, and the Legia has reached the main group of Conference League. Third and hardest goal: winning the title.

“I do not think that the coach's work will be successful, considering how the law plays. There is no visible positive impact. There are both external and internal pressures to dismiss the coach Iordănescu,” said Cezary Kucharski, a double national champion with Legia, in the Poland press.
It is clear that hot days are coming to the club. Iordănescu is looking for excuses, and that never helps the Legia. Talking about the referees can get well on some supporters, but it does not bring respect or strengthens the coach's position! After the last two matches, coach Iordănescu has undermined his position alone

From the information provided by Polish journalists for GSP, the tensions between Iordănescu and leadership have reached maximum levels, and Edi's future is in great danger.
“There have been all kinds of tensions in recent months. Iordănescu did not publicly attacked the bosses, but he expressed his dissatisfaction in face-to-face discussions. Iordănescu is not the kind of man who accepts to set aside, so the next few days are crucial in what a termination can mean”, I say the GSP sources from Poland.
Iordănescu remains the number 1 variant for the national team
The match with Austria in Bucharest, from October 12, can be capital for the future of Mircea Lucescu on the bank of the national team.
“Il Luce” is willing to give up the position of coach, and Edward Iordănescu is the first variant that Burleanu and Stoichiță have in the plan, if Lucescu left.

“The federation will never pay a termination clause for a coach”, It was the clear message transmitted by those at the Football House on several occasions. However, if Edi had been dismissed by the Legia, he would be contacted immediately to discuss the proposal to take over the first representative, which he led before the arrival of Mircea Lucescu.
The 47 -year -old technician gave up in the summer of 2024 to the national team, due to family problems. This is after taking us to the euro from the first place in the preliminary group, and in Germany he won the group, the national being eliminated in the eighth of the Netherlands.

“If an opportunity will come to train again and represent Romania”

After giving up because of personal issues, Iordănescu said that “If an opportunity will come to train again and represent Romania and Romanians, I will certainly sit with all conviction and discuss!”.
Specifying in the interview that “in the years of childhood and further, in those of adolescence, I could only hear about the national team, about the pride and honor of being Romanian. We are convinced nationalists. I say honestly: we love the national, we love our country, we love the Romanian land and my family has so many joys living representing Romania. And then, I will never be able to say with conviction or close the door to the national team, to say that I do not want it anymore. “
