Disaster for Legia after the departure of Edi Iordănescu! New details emerge about the coach's resignation: “This happened!”

Legia Warsaw is going through a nightmare period after the departure of Edward Iordănescu (47 years old). The team now led by the Spaniard Iñaki Astiz is unable to get afloat.

“Iordănescu was right when he complained that there was no way the incoming players could be put in place so quickly. It can be seen that those who left the team left a huge void”claims a Polish sports journalist consulted by GSP.ro.

There is chaos at Legia Warsaw and after the departure of Iordănescu jr.

This was also the main reason why Iordănescu broke the contract with Legia. The lack of reinforcements and departures from the team fueled the general dissatisfaction of the former coach.

In these conditions, Iordănescu became the number one victim in the club, even if at the time of initialing the documents the management had other plans, thoughts and objectives.

Now, with the Spaniard Inaki Astiz on the technical bench, Legia has not managed a single victory in the last four official confrontations.

Legia lost two matches with Celje, 1-2, in the Conference League groups, but also with Termalica, also 1-2, in the championship.

Moreover, the Poles collected only two points, from 1-1 draws with Widzew Lodz and 2-2 with Lechia Gdańsk, last ranked in the championship, the hosts scoring the equalizing goal in the very last minute of the game.

At the moment, Legia is 11th out of 18 with 18 points, a considerable distance from the championship leader, Górnik Zabrze.

The next match is on Thursday, from 22:00, at home to Sparta Prague in the Conference League groups, but the situation does not seem at all to give hope to the supporters.

New details about Iordănescu's departure from Legia

Edward Iordănescu (47 years old) was introduced to Legia Warsaw on his birthday, on June 16, but at the end of October he decided to break the contract.

He led the Poles in 23 matches, during which he recorded 11 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats. However, he ticked off two goals out of three: winning the Polish Super Cup and qualifying the team for the European Cups.

Now, a month after the resignation, new details are emerging. People from the staff of the former selector revealed that “the main reason why Edi resigned was because he was lied to! That's what happened!”.

“What was discussed at the beginning was not respected. Important players left, and those who came were the choices of the management, not his. That bothered him: that he could not have a say in the transfers”the revelations are still ringing.

It was a complicated but fascinating experience, full of intensity, even if it lasted less than we would have liked. There were definitely things we had different perspectives on, but that's part of the complexity of football
