The coach claims that he did not go to Botoșani at the request of the club. He mentions that he received a termination paper, signed it, but did not get it back signed by the club.
Maldarașanu he regrets the fact that he did not leave the team in the summer, when he signed a two-year contract extension.
Marius Măldărășanu confirms the separation from Hermannstadt: “I accepted the termination of the amicable contract, without any clause”
“Indeed, I did not travel to Botoșani because, after the match with UTA, I was called by the president Daniel Niculae. He told me that he spoke with the patrons and that they want us to close it, those were the words, the money up to date, without a termination clause.
I said «yes ok»I just asked to go say goodbye to the boys and he said everything was fine. About half an hour later he called back and said that maybe I should not do that. That made me think because I said that I don't want to play “black and white”, I'm a coach, I'm not.
Finally, now things are clear from my point of view.
This time, to avoid offending, I kept telling them: the moment you think it's time to break up, I'm not «clause hunter»I haven't been able to do this for months. I've been there for four and a half years, and the moment you want me to leave, I'm leaving without any problems with that clause.
Now, at this time, I don't have any paper against this termination agreement, a draft something to discuss, I'm waiting.
I asked them for a piece of paper, so that I don't wake up because I didn't show up for training, in Romanian football we know very well what happens. Yesterday afternoon they sent me a sheet, I signed it, but I haven't received it back signed by the club, I'm still waiting for it.
The idea was that it was the club's decision not to go to Botoșani, not mine. I have accepted the amicable termination of the contract, without that clause, but I am waiting for the agreement. The details of that agreement also matter a lot“, said Măldărășanu, for fanatik.ro.
Măldărășanu, mysterious: “I only spoke with Daniel Niculae, there will come a time when I will say some things”
“I signed a permit for these three days, and I will arrive in Sibiu next Thursday. I really want to say goodbye how it's done and how it's normal. This is life, I wanted it to be a handshake the moment we stop and that's it, it seems normal in football. It happens, the pitcher doesn't go to water many times.
I only spoke to Daniel Niculae. Right during the Farul – FCSB match opposite this conclusion. Yesterday afternoon, also with Nico. There are things you need to consider when it comes to defending yourself.
There will come a time when I will say some things. The world judges, I also have detractors, but at some point I will say some real things, without wanting to attack anyone, that I don't want that, but I have to defend myself a little.
I have always taken them to heart, at flash, conferences, but there are things that cannot be managed only by the coach. I'm not saying that now that I'm in negotiations to terminate. It is important for the world to know the truth”, Măldărășanu added.
This team will not be relegated, there is no way. A lot of guys sent me messages, including Cristi Neguț, who apologized for the red card taken in the 17th minute. If they believe and will give everything on the field, there is no way they will be relegated. Things can't go on like this forever.
I was supposed to leave in the summer. I chose with my heart, that's what I did as a footballer and it seems I'm not learning my lesson.

Ruben Albes and Dorinel Munteanu, on Hermannstadt's list
GSP.ro informed today that there are already two names of replacements on the list of the Sibiians. The management of the red-blacks are negotiating his return Ruben Albes (40 years old) in Sibiu. The Iberian also trained the team between June 2020 and January 2021, when he was brought to Romania by Anamaria Prodan.
After ending his adventure at Hermannstadt, he also coached, in his native country, second divisions CD Lugo, Albacete and, until the summer, Sporting Gijon.
The second option of the Sibians is Dorinel Munteanu (57 years old)without commitment after the scandalous parting with Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe, which occurred in April, after only five games.
