Mircea Rednic (63 years old), former coach at Dinamo and Rapidwas not surprised by the choice of Mirel Rădoi (44 years old) to return as coach to FCSBafter he previously downgraded that he would not return to the team due to the attitude of the financier Gigi Becali (67 years old).
Following the resignation of Elias Charalambous, which occurred following the failure in the last stage of the regular season, 1-3 with U Cluj, Gigi Becali urgently appealed to Mirel Rădoi, who has the mission of qualifying FCSB in the Conference League preliminaries.
Mircea Rednic was not surprised by Mirel Rădoi's return to FCSB: “He has all the conditions”
Asked if he was surprised by Mirel Rădoi's decision, “Puriul” pointed out: “Yes and no. Mirel is a young, ambitious coach, and at FCSB he has all the conditions from a sporting, organizational and financial point of view. He has a very good relationship with Gigi Becali, because I see all kinds of discussions, that he will leave as he will. We know very well that Rădoi is a guy with personality, that's why he left Craiova”.
“He has some principles that he doesn't violate, as am I. And I was at Standard Liege today if I accepted someone to make my program, the team… I have an age, Rădoi is still young. He is realistic and since he accepted he knows why. He has all the conditions to achieve what the boss wants.
Don't forget that Olăroiu somehow did the same in 2011. He came, prepared the team, won the Romanian Cup and then returned to Saudi Arabia. I say let's take Radoi's return to FCSB as a positive thing. He is a good coach, who stays with us in the country and can do a very good job”, said Mircea Rednic, according to digisport.ro.
