Radoi will train three Romanian players in Gaziantep. It is about Deian Sorescu, Alexandru Maxim and Denis Drăguș. He will make his debut as a “principal” in the new team on April 25, when Gaziantep travels to Eyupspor's field.

The club from Turkey is currently in 10th place with 37 points after 30 rounds.

The technician is thus parting ways with the team he had returned to about a month and a half ago.

In this short term, Rădoi marked five matches on the FCSB bench: three victories (4-0 with Oțelul, 1-0 with UTA and 3-2 with Farul), one draw (0-0 with Metaloglobus) and one defeat (2-3 with FC Botoșani).

At the time of his departure, FCSB was in first place in the play-out standings, two points above the next ranked UTA Arad.
