FCSB are going through an extremely complicated period, with the reigning champion having a modest start to the season, being near the end of the tour away from the play-off places and rather close to the relegation zone. The two technicians of the red-blues, Elias Charalambous and Mihai Pintilii, understand the gravity of the moment and know that they can be dismissed at any moment. The owner of Becali claims, however, that he continues to give them credit.
In the Superliga, FCSB is in 12th place, with 13 points, and in the single Europa League group, the Romanian champion is in 24th position, with only 3 points. On Thursday, from 19:45, he has a new match in the competition, against Bologna, in Bucharest.
The boss of the red-blues, Gigi Becali, revealed that he was called by the “second” Mihai Pintilii, who said that he and his colleague on the technical bench are willing to leave the team at any time, if the financier believes that this must be the decision taken to restore the team.
Gigi Becali is not thinking of changing the coach for now
Becali admitted that at the moment he is not considering a split, but everything can change down the road, after announcing that he will make a decision at the end of the tour, when he will draw the line and see exactly where his team is. Until that moment, FCSB still has to play UTA and Cluj University, two other teams in pain.
“Pintilii called me: 'I spoke with Charalambous, whenever you want, give a phone call, we'll leave on the spot, without discussions, without anything'! 'Look, me, it's your business'!
what is that We are in the Europa League, we took millions with you for years… You have to be human! I made millions with you, over 25-30 million in two years, now what do I do? Let's see, if it doesn't exceed your stake, you can't go any further. It's possible, it's possible, right? But let me see at the end of the tour! What are we doing now, making fun of people? Only at the end of the tour!
But I also have an obligation, they did what they could, I'm the boss, I have to see what the problem is, there's a drought, there's no water, let's put in irrigation, let's put fertilizers… These people listened to me, it's my obligation to protect them and bring 5 more players in the winter”, said Gigi Becali, about the situation of the technicians, quoted by fanatik.ro.
