Marian Copilu, who would have become the new executive director of the CFR Cluj club, was seen in Gruia at the match with Craiovascore 0-0, from the eighth round of the Superleague play-off.
Marian Copilu left CFR Cluj with a scandal 5 years ago, and now it seems that he has returned to the organization chart of the Transylvanian club, according to digisport.ro.
Marian Copilu, seen in the stands at CFR Cluj – Craiova University
Marian Copilu was seen in the box of the arena in Gruia during the match with Olteni, in which the Transylvanian team could have returned to the fight for the title in the event of a victory. He was with councilor Ioan Ivașcu.
He would have slapped Ioan Varga on Friday, and a few hours later he already got into the bread and appeared in the stands at the match with Olteni. Marian Copilu even worked in Craiova for a short period, immediately after leaving CFR Cluj.
Copilu left CFR in the summer of 2021, after the elimination of the team from the Europa League in the double with Red Star Belgrade. In the end, there was a huge scandal in the offices, including physical altercations.
Iuliu Mureșan blamed Marian Copilu
In February this year, Iuliu Mureșan gave an exclusive interview to GSP.RO. Without naming them, he pointed the finger at Marian Copilu and Ioan Ivașcu for what they did in the club after his departure.
“If I left CFR, I didn't make any negative statement! And I didn't try to come and disturb by my presence, especially after they took down all my paintings, including the ones with the teams with which I won the first three championships. I said: “Well, if that's how it's judged, I have nothing to look for there, not even at the match”. And I didn't come,” said Mureșan.
