Durul Gheorghe Tadici, complained by the father of a handball player from Zalău. Heavy-handed, tough-talking coach defends himself: 'Fuck you' is not swearing'

Controversial since the time when he was the national team coach with serious accusations, Gheorghe Tadici (73 years old), the coach of the women's handball team from Zalău, is the target of internal revelations coming from a former student.

Tadici, a fierce technician

Marian, Francesca Bălan's father, claims that the coach “physically and mentally abused” his daughter, and because of the coach's behavior, the athlete gave up her contract with HC Zalău after only a few weeks and needed psychological counseling.

The athletes reported some of the alleged slips and mental abuse of the coach.

Francesca Bălan would have needed psychological counseling precisely because of the coach's behavior, an accusation that Tadici rejected: “He was already under treatment. What's wrong with her, I don't think she can play performance handball anymore“.

Francesca Bălan transferred from Vâlcea to Zalău in the summer, but parted ways with Tadici's team after less than two months.

“We had to take her to a psychologist, she couldn't sleep anymore, she didn't want to leave the room. We were also sent with her to a psychiatrist and since then she has been doing counseling sessions.

The behavior of this… I have no way of calling him a man, Gheorghe Tadici. Please believe me that I am very censorious in what I say, because I am angry! When the question arose of taking the girl and leaving Zalău, after I found out what happened to her, I didn't even go to talk to Tadici because I don't think I could have controlled myself and I was giving it to others. Only my wife went and I didn't even tell her that it was because of him that the girl gave way.

Because Tadici is not a normal person, he cannot be rationally discussed. He rumbles right away, plus he's very spiteful. Well, what does he do to girls… God forbid!

He abuses them, that's what he does! Including physical! He squeezes their hands, pinches them, they are all bruised. Now he no longer punches them like he did with Pintea in the old days, he also played tricks. But what he does is humiliating! He screams from the beginning of training to the end, makes them stupid, controls their private life.

Here's an example. One evening, at 9:30 p.m., my daughter wanted to go to the supermarket to do some shopping, and the doorman at the hostel said to her: “If you don't come by 10:00 p.m., leave the car outside and I'll show you where to jump the fence, otherwise I'll have problems with Tadici if he sees that you're driving in after 10:00 p.m.”

In the contract we were told that she would get a comfort studio 1 and she was sent to a dormitory, in a studio of 17 square meters. The kitchen was improvised from two slabs and was, I give you my word of honor, one meter by one meter. A joke, really inhumane! He started crying when he saw the conditions.

Ugly? He spoke to them unqualifiedly. He used to say to them: “You miserable devils, embarrassing people, you are stupid, you don't even deserve the food you receive!”. After a match in Buzău, when they lost, he took their food and left them hungry. He told them that this is the punishment!“, said Marian Bălan for Gsp.

The coach threatens to sue

Contacted, Gheorghe Tadici denied everything and said he would sue Marian Bălan.

“I will settle it in court. 95% of what this man says is bullshit. He has no proof. The girls on the team want to issue a statement, an open letter in which they say what problems they had with the girl of the gentleman who talks and accuses. Some aberrations that support.

He can't prove anything he says. You know how, out of a hundred players that come through my hand, 92 progress and make it big, but like any dry forest, 7-8 players are only interested in the payday.

It is not true that he had miserable accommodation conditions. That is not a dormitory, it is an ANL block, where the County Council gave us apartments and studios. 18 families of doctors live there, and the kitchen is not one meter by one meter, but 3 meters by two, as if, I didn't measure exactly.

There are only slanders that charge this man. There was no one to take their food, there was no such thing, the team captain makes the menu, they have what they want at the table.

About my language. “Fuck you” is not a swear word. I didn't put them in, I didn't take them out, but I know that performance is done with work and discipline. Dozens of players have passed through my hands who have become big, I haven't moved a hair's breadth“, said Gheorghe Tadici.
