After Red Star – FCSB 1-0in the Europa League, Gigi Becali, the boss of the red-blues, declared that he is not dismissing the coaches Elias Charalambous and Mihai Pintilii.
Becali announced that it will wait until the end of the year to make a decision. He did not specify whether he was referring to the calendar year or the 2025-2026 season.
FCSB remained with 3 points in the unique Europa League group. In the Superliga, the Romanian champion is 10th, 5 points from the play-off. Becali stated that he cannot rule out Charalambous and Pintilii at this point after the team's successful performances in recent years.
Gigi Becali: “I will wait, I will see the end of the year, after that we will make a decision”
“Now I can't make a drama out of it. I'm the boss of the team. I'm mindful. What am I mindful of? That this year we collected tens of millions with these coaches. I'm not an idiot, after collecting tens of millions, it faltered a bit and I'm changing the coach. These coaches gave me 40-50 million.
I will wait, I will see the end of the year, after that we will make a decision. It is normal and right for them to continue because they have brought the performances they have brought so far.
I can't say it's their fault. It may be my fault. If it's me, we change the attitude. But I don't leave the team in the hands of the coaches. In Romania, everyone who did it brought it into bankruptcy,” said Becali, on Prima Sport 1.
It may be my fault. What you said is possible to happen. They have no respect for the coaches anymore. Because of me, I no longer pay attention to what the coach says. Everyone plays what they want. I have no information. Don't ask me if I have information. Do you want curls? I didn't say I had information, I just said it was possible.
