It is not quiet at all in Craiova before the competitive break in November. Although it achieved its first success in the groups of a European competition in the middle of the week, with Rapid Vienna, score 1-0, the University went into the championship, with UTA, which had been a nightmare for it in the first match of this season.
Although he didn't give any impression that he wanted to leave the team, Mirel Rădoi seems to have made the decision to resign and already announced this to the players, in the locker room, immediately after the match, according to GSP.ro information.
The journalist Decebal Rădulescu announced about this resignation, in the show “Digi Sport Special”
Mirel Rădoi announced that he is resigning
It is not the first time that the coach has such a message. He intended to leave twice. It happened right in the first stage, also after a duel with UTA (3-3 on July 12), then at the end of the draw with Metaloglobus (0-0, on October 26).
Now, after the fallout with UTA, he had the same message, and from GSP's information, the breakup is very close to happening this time.
“I don't know if anyone returns it”say GSP sources, regarding the decision taken by the former selector.
After the 16th stage, Craiova, which was in the first position in the ranking for a long time, reached the 4th place, 6 lengths behind the leader Rapid.
VIDEO. Nothing agreed with Mirel Rădoi after the failure with UTA
After the failure with UTA, Mirel Rădoi showed a state of irritation. He contracted the reporter interviewing him several times.
“How does this break come, does it help you or on the contrary, does it confuse you?”, Rădoi was asked, at which point he “caught fire”:
What do you think the answer would be? That I lost would take me, right? I don't understand these rhetorical questions, if you want to make fun of me… out of respect for you I come here and try to answer you, but if I lost how could the next period catch us? Happy, right?! I don't understand.
We have to accept the result, I am satisfied with the game, with the opportunities created, but unfortunately we have nothing to do, to block the opposing team from having any corners. In the next period we will do this to start collecting points
