“He called his agent to take him from here” » The dialogue with the coach, after Craiova

Adel Bettaieb he managed a goal to put in the frame in the away game from Craiova, equal to three points in the standings, and after the victory he recalled with Andone his beginnings at the formation in Trivale, telling the coach how he wanted to leave the team extremely quickly.

The Tunisian born in France came to FC Argeș in the summer of 2025, from U Cluj, and after only two weeks he called his agent to take him from the team, believing that he would not be able to cope with Andone's extremely tough training.

Bogdan Andone: “I am a follower of a more Spartan preparation”

“I didn't do anything special to Bettaieb, I'm a follower of a more spartan training, I don't accept half measures, intensity in training, concern, involvement, the physical trainer works very, very well, it looks very good, the boys are training 100%.

I spoke with Bettaieb last night and he told me how in the first 2 weeks he called the agent and told him to take him from here, when he saw how hard the training was, that he wouldn't last. He came a little later, he was also behind with the preparation. This is the secret, the discipline, the organization, what we prepare tactically for every game”, said Bogdan Andone, on Saturday morning, on the “Digi Sport Matinal” show.

Andone's conclusions, after the success in Craiova

“I celebrated on the way, I arrived home at 2 o'clock. I am hoarse, I shouted a lot during the match, nothing could be heard. With the supporters it will be harder than with the players, we analyze, we prepare each game for victory, we know our limits, but it does not mean that we will not approach each game with the intention of winning it.

With the supporters it is more difficult, we interact at matches, everyone is free to dream, to believe, but it is difficult. I want us to be balanced, the supporters to enjoy the results, the team, what the team does, it is a joy and a privilege to be side by side with the greats of the championship.

It was simply the feeling of the boys to go to the gallery, that's how they felt on the field, the supporters also watched us last year in League 2, on long trips, and they appreciate the effort and work these boys do.

I said it from the first day, only together we can succeed, let's be united, Dani Coman, Daniel Stanciu, the team, the mayor, the players, the staff, if we are together we will succeed. If we are divided and we don't all pull the same wagon, we won't have a chance,” Andone said.

The technician also spoke about the offer received from Belgium, which he refused, as he wants to complete the contract with FC Argeș.

I have nothing to discuss about the offer from Belgium, I'm under contract, I have another year and a half, there was another one from Cyprus, from a team that won the championship a few years ago, but I said I'm not going anywhere.

There was a simple call from Belgium, I politely declined, I want to complete the contract, there was nothing more to discuss.

I spoke with Dani Coman, I personally want to keep my word. It's not about courage that I refused, I'm a quieter guy, I like to have my private, family life, I'm not a guy who goes only for money, maybe that's me, I try to have a balance.

Honestly, I don't know if I have a title clause, but I 100% have European cups.
