Ioan Andone, the former great player and coach from Dinamo, declared himself surprised by the team's results this season and praised Zeljko Kopic, the technician of the red-white team.
Andone, champion as a coach at Dinamo in the 2003-2004 season and winner of 3 Cups with the team from “Ștefan cel Mare”, believes that the red-whites have little chance of winning the title. However, he praised the performances of the “dogs” and the results of the “Kopic era”.
Ioan Andone: “You could have brought Mourinho and Dinamo wouldn't have achieved these results”
“It's hard for Dinamo to dream of the title. It's incredible what results the team has with Kopic. You could bring Mourinho and he wouldn't have these results. There are many young, Romanian players brought in from outside.
Things are fine. If he gets into the top 6, anything can happen. Especially since CFR is creaking, it's hard to get there, FCSB is down”, declared Ioan Andone, on “Fotbal Club”, from Digi Sport 1.
Zeljko Kopic's record, before his 2nd year on Dinamo's bench
Zeljko Kopic will celebrate two years on Dinamo's bench on December 1. The Croat saved the Bucharest team from relegation at the end of the 2023-2024 season, after a tie with Csikszereda.
In the following season, 2024-2025, Dinamo qualified for the play-offs and ended the season in 6th place. In the current season, the “dogs” are in third position after 16 stages. Dinamo has 30 points, 5 behind the leader Rapid.
Kopic has 84 matches on Dinamo's bench, achieved 33 wins, 29 draws and registered 22 failures.
