Mirel Rădoi (45 years old) is about to leave from Gaziantepthe team he joined in April, after the untimely breakup with FCSBin the middle of the play-out. He did not have the expected debut in Turkey, and the situation is on the limit. Turkish media noted on Wednesday evening that Rădoi is at an impasse due to his “recent behaviour” and claims that the team has already found the name of the replacement.
At the end of April, Rădoi signed with Gaziantep, but with him at the helm the team disappointed. The record, disastrous: 4 failures from as many games!
Now, Turkish journalists write that Radoi will leave Gaziantep and that the club's bosses have already found a replacement. It seems that the Romanian technician would have disturbed the management with some statements made. The Turks do not specify exactly what those would be, but they claim that relations have cooled and that the future of the team will be without Radoi.
The Turks announce the imminent departure of Mirel Rădoi: “The leadership is dissatisfied with the recent attitude”
“Crisis in Gaziantep: Radoi leaves, the club has already found a replacement,” headlined Turkish journalists from gazetebirlik.com.
“The waters are troubled at Gaziantep, a club that has already started planning for the new Süper Lig season. The differences of opinion with the current coach, Mirel Rădoi, and his statements, which created discomfort among the management, led the red-black club to look for new solutions for the technical bench.
Gaziantep is preparing to part with Mirel Rădoi, and for the new season has turned its attention to experienced coach Ömer Erdoğan.
There is growing talk behind the scenes that the administrative board is conducting a rigorous selection process for the future coach, and Ömer Erdoğan is at the top of the list. Management is unhappy with Radoi's recent attitude, which has strengthened the likelihood of an imminent breakup.
Wanting to avoid any mistakes in the planning of the new season, the club's management decided to bet on Ömer Erdoğan, a technician who knows Turkish football very well and who had notable performances in his previous tenures. The first official contacts between the two sides are expected to take place in the coming days.”the Turks noted.

As the team was saved from relegation, the four failures with Rădoi on the bench did not weigh much.
