Asked about Mirel Rădoi at FCSB, Claudiu Vaișcovici (63 years old), former striker with 3 seasons at Dinamo Bucharest, revealed what bet his wife proposed, hearing details about the coach's agreement with Gigi Becali.
Elias Charalambous, the coach who trained FCSB in the last 3 years, resigned after the last match of the regular season, a 1-3 with U Cluj in which the champion looked deplorable.
His place was taken by Mirel Rădoi, convinced by his godfather, Gigi Becali, to come to give “a helping hand”, to straighten the team in order to win the Conference League playoff.
The agreement was conditional on the cessation of interference from the boss Gigi Becali. On top of that, Rădoi wants Becali not to comment on his work and not to criticize the players in his public interventions.
Will the club leader abstain? Claudiu Vaișcovici is not convinced, that's why he didn't even bet that he would, when his wife launched a spontaneous challenge.
Claudiu Vaișcovici: “My wife said to me: “We bet that Gigi will speak?”. I don't!”
“He put some conditions, he said it. Sure, my wife, hearing this, reached out to me and said: “We bet that Gigi will speak?”. And I said “I don't bet, I might lose”. That he will talk again, yes. Okay, don't do analysis on TV. That's what he criticized in Craiova as well.
I say there is no problem for him to finish in 7th place. He will play the first round with 8th or 9th place, I say there is no problem here, and then he will have an all or nothing match for this championship. No matter who they play in the first round, they will win.
In order to save this championship as much as possible, they must go to the European cups. Then, Mirel will insist. He knows how to set them up, he will set them up in such a way that they get there,” said Vaișcovici to PrimaSport.

Do you know how I see the situation at FCSB at this moment? Exactly as it was at CFR before Pancu came. They had a lot, players of a certain value, but he was not the man to put order in the dressing room, to unite that group. I think this is also Mirel's role at FCSB at the moment. And he knows it. They need an iron fist in the locker room.
I think that Radoi made this choice being very sure that he can lead the team to the European Cups. With him the problem of money does not arise; he has money, he didn't come for a salary. He came because he believed and still believes that this team can qualify for the European Cups.
