Lucian Philip35 years old, triple champion of Romania alongside FCSB“second” during the period 2022-2026 and passed into the role of scout with the arrival of Mirel Rădoi at the helm of the red-blues, held today the press conference preceding the duel with The oilfrom round #6 of the play-out, which will take place tomorrow, from 20:30.
After the victory with Farul, Mirel Rădoi chose to go to Gaziantep. Until a new technician is installed, Lucian Filip and Alin Stoica will take care of the team. Filip does not hold a PRO license, but according to the regulations, Super League teams have one month to appoint a licensed coach. During this time, they can also have an unlicensed trainer on the bench.
He discussed the departure of Mirel Rădoi, confessing that he felt that the separation was imminent, but also about the days leading up to the match with Petrolul and how the alignment of the starting line-up and the preparation will proceed. He knows that a coach with a PRO license is to be co-opted, the club's preference being a foreign technician. He also addressed the topic of Vlad Chiricheș, revealing that the veteran will no longer continue with the Bucharest formation.
Lucian Filip: “We all know the patron's involvement in the composition of the first “11”
“It was a surprise, but not a big one. I had the feeling, at every match, that the collaboration between the coach and the owner could end. I was also part of the old staff, when performances were achieved. While Mirel Rădoi was there, I was present at most of the training sessions and saw how he worked. Through the experience gained over time, we want to substitute for a short period until the arrival of a trainer with a PRO license.
There were some things that didn't add up. For example, in the case of Chiricheș. The owner made it clear that he didn't want to play anymore, but the coach put him on the field and it was somehow a borderline situation.
The boys are fine, they couldn't be fine. It is important to maintain the same rhythm of the game and reach our goal. Elias and Pinti worked in one way, Mirel, together with his staff, in another way. We don't want to change too much. The team comes after good results. A trainer with a PRO license will come, who will also change some things. There would be too many changes, and that could harm the players”, said Lucian Filip during the press conference.
“We didn't talk to Mirel Rădoi, he didn't leave us any training plan”
“We didn't talk to Mirel Rădoi, he didn't leave us any training plan. Both I, Alin Stoica and Marius Popa somehow know what he has been working on and it is quite easy for us to prepare the match. We didn't come home without knowing what was happening,” said the interim coach of the red-blues.

I don't want to give my opinion about Dica. I played with him, we had a good relationship based on respect, but the club wants a foreign coach, from what I understand. We are as prepared as the regulations allow us to be, we must be ready at any time.
I want to stay in the technical area, I'm an A license student at the moment. We all know the patron's involvement in the composition of the first «11». By and large, the team is outlined. The players know each other. Maybe there is a question mark on one or two players.
