Vlad Chiriches (36 years old), the central defender from FCSBwill continue until the summer with the red-blue team. Then his contract will expire.
Gigi Becali, the owner of the Romanian champion, had announced in December that Chiricheș's future at FCSB was uncertain. Before the red-blue team left for training camp, Mihai Stoica said that the veteran will continue until the summer.
“He no longer has speed, he no longer has quickness. As he wants, we'll see if he stays,” Gigi Becali said about Chiricheș at the end of last year.
Mihai Stoica: “Chiricheș will stay until the end of the contract”
“Chiricheș stays until the end of the contract, he comes to the training camp. I offered him the chance to do the sports director's course, now, in parallel with his football career.
He said he was thinking, then he didn't want to. He wants to become a coach, he will probably do coaching school as well. Everyone wants to become coaches, the salaries are higher”, said Mihai Stoica, on Prima Sport 1.
Vlad Chiricheș could even play against FC Argeș, in the first match of the year for the red-blues. Daniel Graovac is suspended, Ngezana will not be fit due to his presence at the African Cup, and the other stopper options are Dawa, back after a 10-month absence, and Andre Duarte, transferred in the winter.
