Courted by a club in BelgiumBogdan Andone tries to keep the players of FC Argeș in check, in a week in which the news of the supposed offer received by the technician reached the locker room. The 51-year-old technician sent a mobilizing message to the purple and white footballers, say authorized sources from the team's entourage.
The almost miraculous success achieved by FC Argeș this season turned Bogdan Andone into one of the performers of the championship.
The coach of Pitesti reached a milestone that no one had achieved before in the current format of the championship: to take a newly promoted team to the first league in the play-offs. What's more, FC Argeș qualified mid-week for the semi-finals of the Romanian Betano Cup, where they will face U Cluj for a place in the final in Sibiu.
After the deed and reward! The share of Pitesti increases, after qualifying for the play-off
The incredible course of this season has not only raised the quota for the players, but also for the coach Bogdan Andone, who would be on the list of a first-rate team from Belgium, according to prosport.ro. The president Dani Coman also confirmed, according to the mentioned source, the existence of an offer for Andone, but without saying the name of the club.
In the context of the news that appeared in the “loop” in the last few days, Bogdan Andone wanted to send a message to his own players. In the days leading up to the game with Unirea Slobozia, the last of the regular season, the technician entered the locker room and addressed a few words to his students regarding this topic:
“Stay focused until the end of the championship, then we'll see”, Andone's message sounded, according to the information obtained by GSP.ro.
“He still has a contract with FC Argeș for one more year from the summer. For now, there is no question of a departure,” authorized sources told Gazetă.
However, the management, through the voice of Dani Coman, let it be understood that it will not oppose the departure of Bogdan Andone, if the offer will be advantageous from a financial point of view.
Bogdan Andone, installed at FC Argeș in a moment of balance
Bogdan Andone took over FC Argeș in the fall of 2024, when the former champion was in 7th place in the second league and was looking for a technician, after breaking up with Nicolae Dică. The club from Trivale seemed adrift, after having played in the play-out of the second league in 2024.
With Andone on the bench, Arges has restarted. He finished the season in first place in League 2, to then be the protagonist of an unsuspected journey in the Superliga.
FC Argeș, which also reached the play-off in 2022, one before being relegated, can boast of a remarkable performance this edition, managing to beat last season's champion and vice-champion, FCSB and CFR Cluj.
Apart from the internal mandates, Andone also ticked off, from the position of principal, an experience abroad, preparing the Cypriots from Apollon Limassol in 2023.
