Newly promoted in this Superliga season, Metaloglobus does not have a stadium, so it is forced to play its home matches at the stadium in Clinceni, a place it shared with Unirea Slobozia. Meanwhile, the team from Ialomi no longer has to play there, considering that the stadium in Slobozia has benefited from renovations.
The training that the team from the last place of the Superliga trains on a separate field, behind the arena in Ilfov. The GSP reporters captured images reminiscent of the fields where matches from Romania's lower leagues take place. The condition of the turf was bad, with many holes, and a lot of mud gathered around the field.
This training was the first conducted by Florin Bratu (46 years old) as coach of Metaloglobus. The “Mitraliera” came to try to save the team from relegation, after the coaching position had remained vacant, in the context of the separation from Mihai Teja.
This return belongs to Metaloglobus and the people who wanted me here and I thank them in this way, because they gave me the opportunity to return after 8 years in League 1, and I don't want to disappoint them. It is a difficult situation, but at the same time challenging.
With my team, with the staff, with the guys, the management, who are very passionate and give us everything, we will try to do beautiful things in every match. If we take it game by game and fight for points, I'm sure we can have good results.

Ovidiu Dănănae (40 years old) came to the aid of Florin Bratu, who will occupy the position of second coach.
A former player at FC U Craiova, Universitatea Craiova and FCSB in the first half of 2012, Dănănae started his journey in coaching almost 6 years ago. He worked especially as a second coach, at FCU Craiova, Viitorul Tg. Jiu and Gloria Buzău, in collaboration with names like Eugen Trică, Nicolo Napoli and Ilie Stan.
He also had experiences as a “principal” in the lower leagues, at the “satellite” of FCU Craiova and at Viitorul Onești, and now he has made the step into the first league.
