Sebastian Chitoșcă (33 years old), the former left midfielder from FCSB from 2016-2017, told a memorable episode from 2021, when he collected tens of thousands of euros through the TikTok platform.
Chitosha he “hung up his boots” at 26. He performed in Romania for teams such as Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț, Voluntari, FC Brașov, FC Botoșani or U Cluj.
Sebastian Chitoșca revealed how he made 40,000 euros from TikTok in 2021: “I was no longer human”
In 2019 he gave up football and focused on a TV career. He participated in the show Survivor and focused on growing his TikTok account.
Even in 2021, after returning from Survivor, Chitoșca claims that he started doing more live on TikTok, and from followers' donations he accumulated more than 40,000 euros. He was also going through a less pleasant period from a personal point of view, due to a divorce.
He deleted the application after four months because of wasted time, claims Chitoșca.
“I had an account with 300,000 followers and I deleted it immediately. I made over 40,000 euros in donations on TikTok in the first months of live, in 2021. But I had ended up spending eight hours a day in the house.
Back then, I wasn't really in it for the money. After the divorce, that's where I found myself… I was no longer sitting in the house looking… depressed. I also stayed for two hours, I made about 6,000 or so lei, with 75% taking TikTok.
And then I woke up at eight in the morning and stayed up until eight in the evening, I didn't leave the house anymore, I was a zombie! The money was coming, but you were no longer human. I deleted it after about four months,” said Chitoșca, according to iamsport.ro.
Sebastian Chitoșca retired at the age of 26: “The lack of concrete offers made me quit”
Sebastian Chitoșca retired in 2019, at the age of 26, after a career in which he amassed over 100 matches in League 1.
“The lack of concrete offers made me give up. After the period at FC Botoșani, where I played for one year and 3 months, over 30 matches in League 1, I expected that next season I would be the undisputed starter for them, especially since I was coming after a period of inactivity at FCSB and had worked a lot.
The work I had put in until then I expected to be rewarded. My career went downhill from that moment,” Chitoșca testified in the spring of 2020, at GSP Live.
