A car of nerves after FCSB missed the play-off, Mihai Stoica (60 years old), the president of the administration of the titular champion, was the author of some reprehensible gestures at the break of the match won by the team coached by Elias Charalambous (45 years old), 4-2 away with UTA Arad.
FCSB's match in Arad became irrelevant in the context of access to the play-offs, after FC Argeș previously managed to beat Dinamo with a score of 1-0, thus securing a place in the top 6.
Considered one of the main culprits for this situation, Mihai Stoica went on a rampage during the break of the match and severely cursed a player from UTA Arad, requiring the intervention of security agents to resolve the conflict.
Mihai Stoica seriously insulted a player from UTA Arad
According to sportarad.ro, Mihai Stoica made a splash during the break of the match played by FCSB in Arad. In the first part of the game, Richard Odada made an imprudent intervention on Darius Olaru, stepping on his ankle. The Kenyan midfielder immediately saw the red card from “central” Sebastian Colțescu, and at halftime he went to the opponent's locker room to apologize to Olaru.
The two players shook hands, but as he let go, the Kenyan was greeted by a chorus of swearing in English from Mihai Stoica. The conflict was settled quickly, after the security agents promptly intervened, along with the sports director of the Aradenians, Codru Grădinariu.
However, the official from UTA Arad declared himself completely surprised by the behavior shown by Mihai Stoica and asked the game observer, Florin Bătrânu, to draw up an additional report to MM Stoica, the hosts being willing to provide the recordings from the surveillance cameras.
Codru Grădinariu, about the scandal caused by Mihai Stoica: “A disappointment for me”
“Unfortunately, at half-time, there was an incident. I won't reproduce the words, but basically the story goes something like this: our player went to apologize to the opposing player, and as he was coming back from the locker room, Mr. Stoica crossed paths with you and our player was cursed.
Oversized, exaggerated, totally inappropriate conflict, a disappointment to me the way he reacted. I only dared to tell him that the universe does not revolve around your club, that we are all frustrated that we did not get the play-offs, it is not just his condition that is important. That's it.
As the end of the story, no one could intervene in your interaction, because the shouting was too loud and there was no room for any other discussion. I think it was an exaggeration, we believe that if it had been a private discussion, in a small circle, it would have been a discussion with some interesting topics, but after this episode, I think he remains just a super-arrogant guy and that's about it,” said Codru Grădinariu, according to iamsport.ro.
When asked if there were racist remarks in Mihai Stoica's skid, the sports director of the Arad team pointed out: “No, after the match I insisted to the observer to take the images from the camera, I want things to be as they should be.”
Black evening for MM Stoica: Gigi Becali scolded him live immediately after missing the play-off
In the evening when FCSB officially found out that they missed any chance to access the play-offs, Gigi Becali announced massive changes to the team, criticizing in particular Mihai Stoica, the one to whom he entrusted the transfer campaign.
I'm going to make a service that deals with bringing in players. I told you during the break that the team must be renewed. I put it on MM and it didn't renew it. I don't blame him, but I will renew it myself.
This service will be run by me. If it didn't work for MM… I left it on and it didn't work. I don't diminish his powers in the club as president, but I have to solve the problem of the players. If MM can't handle it, I'll handle it.

Gigi Becali's plan at the moment is to bring Mirel Rădoi general manager to FCSB, who would take over more of MM Stoica's duties.
Since FCSB missed the goal, Mihai Stoica has not made any public appearance and did not offer a reply to Gigi Becali, who attributed a large part of the blame for this season's failure.
