The coach of Giulesti announced to the fans that they are leaving, but after a meeting with Dan Șucu and Victor Angelescuthe decision was taken as Şumudică to remain at least until the end of the season.
His statement Şumudică came in the evening of elimination from the Romanian Cup, after 1-2 with Hermannstadt. “I am no longer the coach of the Rapid,” he set off the supporters of the Giulesti near the team's coach.
Ilie Dumitrescu: “Is it normal that Șumudică remained. If he wins 5 matches and qualifies the team in the European Cups?”
“It is normal that it remained Şumudică. He gave up last night, there was a lot of pressure, the fans also resigned and he gave up. But those in the leadership proceeded very well and very intelligently that they kept it. If he wins 4 out of 5 matches? Maybe. He has no pressure now. If he wins 5 matches and qualifies the team in the European Cups?
There is the possibility to meet his goal. It is very difficult to manage the situation within the team. We are in the second year when with problems, we remember last year what results were in the play-off, after that 4-0 with FCSB.
At Hermannstadt there is no pressure. It is an ideal environment for Chițu, dragon, Murgia. There's no pressure. If they were saved from relegation, the rest is bonus. He is an ideal framework for obtaining a qualification ”, said Ilie Dumitrescu, at the Football Club show, from Digi Sport 1.
I had the meeting with Marius Șumudică and Cristi Săpunaru. A normal meeting, with the captain and coach. We have 5 more matches, there are chances. Maybe Marius thought he was no longer wanted to lead. But there are still chances, I don't see why the season would not lead. We see at the end of the season that will happen.
