Debut for Mirel Rădoi on Gaziantep's bench

Today's game will be Mirel Rădoi's first game on the bench of his new team, Gaziantep.

The Romanian team is in the middle of the ranking, in 10th place, far from relegation, but also from the positions that offer the presence in the European cups. Under the command of the new technician, 3 Romanians are developing: Alexandru Maxim, Denis Drăguș and Deian Sorescu.

I came here because I believe in the project. My staff also believed in the project, and that allowed me to come here.

I have been to Turkey before, both as a player and as a coach. Football in Romania is similar to that in Turkey. The mentality is the same. I also had offers from Saudi Arabia, but I chose Gaziantep.

– said Mirel Rădoi, at his presentation as coach of the Gaziantep team

On the other hand, Eyupspor, today's hosts, have serious problems regarding the fight to stay in the first league. The team is in 16th position, the last one to relegate.

Two Romanians play for the team from Istanbul. Denis Radu, who became a constant presence in the first 11, but also Dorin Rotariu, who is injured until the end of the season.

In the round match, Eyupspor prevailed on Gaziantep's field, score 2-1.
