This meeting took place a few hours later, in the middle of the night, and the Polish press writes that the decision was made for Iordănescu to leave the club, even if the information was not officially confirmed by Legia.
“As always, I take full responsibility. I've already asked for a meeting with the management. If certain things don't change, we will continue to suffer and I don't want that. We have great supporters who deserve more, better results.
I don't want to be the person who destroys their hopes. I think in the next few hours it will be important to sit down with management and discuss certain things again!“he declared, according to legia.net.
