He changed his mind! Daniel Oprița chose between Steaua and Hermannstadt: “We are close to finalizing”

Daniel Oprița had negotiations with the Sibiu people and it seems that no consensus was reached. The coach of the “military” for 7 years, who announced at the end of the championship that he would no longer continue at Steaua, will remain on the team's bench, although the club does not have the right to promotion, the greatest desire of the technician.

Daniel Oprița remains at Steaua: “There are discussions with Steaua and we are very close to finalizing it. Basically, we have solved it”

“There are no negotiations with Hermannstadt. I didn't get there, it was just a question. I don't know what will happen next. It is normal, if you are called, to agree to talk. I didn't have to think, I don't have to give an answer. I didn't get there. People have to see, they are coming after relegation and they have to reorganize. After that maybe we will discuss something, if there is something to discuss.

When you are at Steaua, you are connected to this club. I've seen what everyone says, that it's a warm place, that you're in League 2… I'm telling you that there are many who would like to come to Steaua, even in League 3. I know this. I would have wanted to play in the first league with Steaua. I like to train and have training conditions.

I like normalcy, which is more difficult in Romania at the present time. I can earn more at other teams, I don't stay at Steaua for the money. I stayed for the conditions, for the supporters. We have 7-800 away supporters and you feel like a footballer and a coach. It's not about the money. I had better offers than at Steaua and I didn't leave.

I felt this at Sepsi, that things are like at Steaua, I wanted to go last summer, but I couldn't. All conditions there are for performance. That's what keeps me at Steaua, the fact that I had everything I needed and was left to do my job.

There are discussions with Steaua and we are very close to finalizing it. Basically, we solved, we set the schedule, the friendly matches. I'm sorry that we are losing players and the list I gave with the footballers should be resolved faster. Drăghici, the captain of the team, has left, and I really feel sorry for him. I'm upset that he no longer continues at Steaua”, said Daniel Oprița, according to digisport.ro.
