Extremely disappointed, the coach apologized to the supporters and announced the team's new goal: qualifying for the Conference League through the barrier given by ranking on the top two places in the play-out.
Elias Charalambous, after UTA Arad – FCSB: “The goal is to qualify for the Conference League”
“It's not easy to win games and not be happy. I want to apologize to the fans. The team is not where it should be.
I made many mistakes and ended up in this position. Now we have nothing left to do but fight. The objective is to play in the Conference League.
We do not know the exact medical situation of Olaru. Hopefully he won't be out for a long time. It was a hard blow. If we look at the last seven games, we have won six. The problem is not now, but in the past. It's too late, but we will fight to win the play-out,” said Elias Charalambous, on Digi Sport.
The play-out is won. I don't have any problems with that. There is no question of Charalambous and Pintilii leaving now, but if the team does not participate in any European competition we will change the coach.
It's the last day I'm speaking, so I want it to be understood exactly what I said: there is no question of replacing them, but if we don't qualify in the Conference, then we change the coaches. That means something should be changed!
– Gigi Becali, FCSB patron
