Gică Hagi, advised to get over Ianis Zicu. What answer did the owner of the Constanța Lighthouse give?

Gică Hagi (60 years old), patron of the Constanța Lighthouse, is in the middle of the sabbatical year he took in the summer, when he appointed Ianis Zicu (42 years old) as coach of the “sailors”, a coach he “fished” from the newly promoted Metaloglobus. His brother-in-law, Gică Popescu (58 years old), the president of Dobrogeni, announced that the “King” will return to the grass, but it is not known where and when.

Gigi Becali (67 years old) caught up with Hagi on New Year's Eve and gave him advice about the Lighthouse. He suggested that he get over Zicu and remove a certain player from the team. Hagi's reply was decided and contrary to Becali's habits, used to dictating the first 11 and the changes at FCSB.

Humiliated by the landowner

“I spoke to him on New Year's Eve, to a player, I won't give his name. “Gica, I don't bother, because you know football a thousand times better than me, but don't bother with that one anymore, because it cleans you up.” “Well, Gigi, I can't get over Ianis (nr- Zicu)”. “What do you mean, are you crazy? You're a patron, how can you not intervene?”.

“Well, I'm also a coach. If I join now, then it won't suit me if someone joins me later, at another team. How can I do that?”. He's a rock, he's so right, I'm still wrong“, said Gigi Becali, on the Liga Digi show.

Hagi had dark days as a coach at Steaua, when Becali forced him to remove Gabriel Bostină from the team. The coach refused and left slamming the door. He also asked the remaining players at Steaua to rise up “because it takes away your personality“.
