After the failure with UTA, from Sunday evening, score 1-2, Rădoi couldn't resist anymore and announced to the players that he was leaving the team.

This time, the parties decided to end the collaboration, and Rădoi's departure is surprising, considering the overall results achieved by Craiova and especially the European course.
