“Ask for release! I can't take the fin's employee”

Mihai Stoica, president of the Board of Directors at FCSB, had already announced on Friday that the new sports director would be appointed in the coming days. Asked if Cernat is the chosen option, Becali confirmed the information on Saturday. The new sporting director will be responsible for bringing in new players from abroad.

At the moment, the two sides have not met, as Becali wants to be sure before this deal is concluded that Florentin Pandele, the mayor of Voluntari, agrees with Cernat's coming to FCSB. Currently, Florin Cernat works in the position of sports director at the club in League 2, occupying the 7th place.

“I told MM: “I can't, unless I get the OK from the fin, from Pandele”. I can't take the fin's employee, say: “Come on, leave the fin and come to me”.

I said: “Ask for release from Pandele, because he is my son, then you can come”. I trust what MM says. He says that we need him, that he knows how, that he goes to see players. Now that's a player he has to go see. I won't tell you which one.

We must have scouts, because football is played in midfield! If you don't have a strong midfield, it's a problem!”, said Gigi Becali, after the victory against U Cluj, on Saturday evening, on the “Footbal Show” show, from Digi Sport.
