Mariana Târcă returns to the “League of Flowers” » She will be the technical director of a European cup team

Corona Brașov, the revelation of the last two seasons in Romanian handball, is going through a radical transformation. There will be major changes at the team level, a new coach, Bent Dahl instead of Bogdan Burcea.

GSP.ro also found out what will happen at the management level. The most resounding appointment is that of Mariana Târcă as technical director. The manager of the handball section will be Gabriel Borodi.

The legend of the national team has held this position before. In 2019, after the doping scandal in Brașov, he initially received a two-year suspension from ANAD. In 2020, he won the appeal to ANAD, and the sanction was deleted.

The conflict continued through legal channels. In 2021, his employment contract was terminated. Again, he won in court, and Corona was forced to pay him more than 50,000 euros in compensation.

Revolution at Corona Brașov

GSP learned that the left midfielder Bianca Bazaliu, the goalkeeper Renata de Arruda and the extreme left Eva Kerekes, all registered players at the leader Gloria Bistrița, will go to Corona Brașov, the 3rd place holder in the “Liga Florilor”, from the summer.

Among the national players registered at Corona, the left midfielder Sorina Grozav, daughter of Mariana Târcă, will definitely remain.

Corona Brașov ended the year in 3rd place in the “Flower League”, record 7 wins and 3 defeats. It is also qualified in the European League groups, where it will face Dijon (France), Zaglebie (Poland) and Viborg (Denmark).

I found myself in a situation I was not a part of. And, paradoxically, my child was also involved. Or very seriously affected. Maybe a lot of people don't realize what happened to this team at the time. It hurt a lot. They were offended, humiliated, being innocent. They were bound by the contract, they have to do what the club proposes. After it happened, that hurt me the most, they didn't care about their fate anymore. Don't do the bare minimum for them. To actually abandon them!

I don't know if it was intentional and I don't want to look back. Maybe it was a mistake. I don't want to remember what trauma I went through, but they… It was extremely hard for them, because if they happen to end up in such a situation again, they are excluded from sports life. And they have absolutely no fault. It was an extremely beautiful team that was finished on a dud. I want to call it nonsense
