Florin Bratu returns to League 1 and takes on Metaloglobus, the “red torch” of the championship, with only 11 points obtained in the past 29 stages.
The Ilfoven team's decision to appoint Bratu as head coach comes just one day after the departure of Mihai Teja, who motivated his departure from Metaloglobus by accusing “differences with the president of the club”. Contacted by GSP, Marius Burcă, the president of Metaloglobus, confirmed that Bratu is a possible replacement for Teja: “He is on a very short list of possible coaches. Nothing has been decided yet. Tomorrow, around noon, the new coach will be decided.”
The club and I terminated the contract, we agreed. The club didn't want me anymore, it's OK. After this match, I'm leaving the team.
I agreed, I talked to the owner of the club. If he didn't want me to be the coach of the team, no problem, I can't stay like that, I also had disagreements with the president of the club.
Probably the president didn't want me anymore and that's it. If the club president doesn't want you anymore, what should you do? I talked to the boss, he came, told me, we terminated by mutual agreement. You can't force love!
