Dani Coman (47 years old), the president of FC Argeș, had an explosive reaction after the defeat suffered in Cluj, 0-1 with the University. The official from Pitesti harshly criticized Borța's mistake at the end of the match and spoke openly about his future at the club.
The phase that decided the game happened in the 90th minute, when Florin Borța committed the penalty after a duel with Alexandru Chipciu. Coman publicly criticized his player.
Dani Coman “machine-gunned” Borța: “Doesn't it bother you that you don't have to attack decisively there?!”
“My opinion is that it is inexplicable. There is no explanation for what Borța did. You can't do something like that in the 90th minute, not lead him, then run over his legs. Don't you mind that you don't have to attack decisively there?!
The action taken by Chipciu doesn't even matter, what matters is Borța's gesture. You can't help but feel like you have to block the cross. As a defender, you are not allowed in the 90th minute to stumble.

He is an experienced player who played very well throughout the game. In fact, the whole team, as much as we can, played a good game, but this mistake overshadows all the effort made by all the players,” said Dani Coman on Digi Sport's “Footbal Club”.
Asked what he would say to Borța, the official from Pitesti continued:
“It's better not to have him in front. I'm affected because in this play-off we showed that we can fight with any team in the Championship.
With CFR we scored in the last seconds, with Dinamo we had the opportunity to win when Brobbey missed, with Craiova at home we also lost due to a mistake, now the same.
It's hard to carry them all. If we didn't lead and they beat us 3-0, 4-0, then we said that the opponent was better. But how was U Cluj better tonight? They had chances, but not clear chances. It is true that they dominated the second half, but that does not mean that Bogdan asked them to retire.
The value of the opponent is seen when they make it impossible for you to create chances, to put pressure, and it seems that this is our value. It's a pity for all the effort, but we only have 5 points in the play-off”.
Dani Coman “I'm thinking whether to stay or leave”
The president of FC Argeș also spoke about his future, but also about the possibility of an approach to the TAS, which he considers useless after the loss of the UEFA license, also leaving it clear that he is considering a departure in the absence of real chances to perform.
“Why should we go to TAS if we, from a sporting point of view, do not take a place in the European Cups? Why should we give money to TAS? We have seen all kinds of assumptions that we are taking money from the state, that we missed the licensing for UEFA…
We have to understand that you cannot perform with money from local authorities alone. From TV rights and sponsors you can make football, you can be in the play-offs, but you can never fight with teams with budgets of 10 million or more than 10 million euros.
What can we get out of what's left? We work for 90 minutes and we make, again, an unforgivable mistake and we make fun of the daily training, the enthusiasm of the people who come to the matches, to the training… I don't know, I'm angry and I don't want to talk more”.
In the end, Coman let it be understood that he is considering a departure from FC Argeș:
“What should I think about? That if someone wanted us to lose, we would lose in the 50-60th minute. No one knew that Chipciu arrived there in the 90th minute and Borța fouled him. I trust the players, I have shown that we play on the field regardless of the discussions and there is no influence.
Only those who are not good at football can say that Borța intentionally tripped Chipciu. The only thing I'm thinking about now is what I'm going to do. I'm thinking whether to stay or leave. I have done my duty to the club, but everyone has to understand that I want to win trophies and fight with all the teams in the championship, but with real chances, not conjunctural“, concluded Dani Coman
