Ilie Stan (58 years old), the former coach from FCSB, said how he sees the new adventure of Mirel Rădoi (44) on the bench of the Romanian champion.
Mirel Rădoi will make his debut on the FCSB bench on Sunday, in the match against Metaloglobus. The match at the National Arena is scheduled from 20:30.
Ilie Stan remembered that he was appointed by Gigi Becali to FCSB in 2011, also at a time when the team was going through a difficult period. The relationship is expected to work only if the team owner does not get on the coach.
Ilie Stan: “It's normal for Rădoi to want to return to the circuit”
“It's normal for Rădoi to want to return to the circuit. Especially since it's about FCSB, he's also a relative of Gigi Becali. I understood that it's only about this play-out and to qualify the team in the European cups. It's a good thing for the supporters, they really wanted a former star player to come to the team.
Gigi Becali will let him do his job, otherwise it will be very difficult. Radoi has a good relationship with MM, they know each other and they all have to pull together. This is exactly what happened to me at FCSB, according to Ronny Levy. Leave it until the summer and then see what it does. If he will be involved in the team or not.
Mirel Rădoi supported the first training at FCSB
It's hard to get results when you're always deciding which team to use, which changes. I think they would have qualified for the play-offs if this change was made”, said Ilie Stan, according to digisport.ro.
Before the match at the National Arena, FCSB is in 8th place, with 23 points, two less than UTA Arad, the first ranked in the play-out.
