“It was my last match at Steaua!”

After 7 years on the Stella bench, Daniel Oprița's mandate has come to an end, given that the coach's contract is due to expire on June 30.

The technician does not consider an extension, since Steaua is still without the right to promotion, but also because of other problems he has faced.

Daniel Oprița: “There can be no question of contract extension”

“We are not a team that knows how to play to the draw or that cares about the result. I think we performed quite well today, although the score is … Voluntari is a team that charges you, with quality players.

That's all we could do this season, given the way we started, the way the team was made. I can't say if I'll stay. I still have a contract until June 30. Then, if I get any offer from any club… we'll see. I am free of contract. Probably, it was the last match at Steaua!

There can be no question of contract extension, given the situation as it is. Nobody knows anything! The captain can't come and offer me and the players contracts when the budget is unknown.

I would have liked it to be… I liked how the minister spoke, but we are at football, time is very short, he should say whether she is white or black! We are also new coaches, we want to do our job and we can't wait until the last minute. We give the money or we don't give the money…. Let them say something. Either we abolish it, or we play with the juniors, or we have the right to promotion.

It had to be the players signed so far. There are still two players under contract, the rest are leaving! The situation must be clarified”, said Daniel Oprița, according to digisport.ro.

Steaua ended the season in 5th place, with 49 points. “Militarii” collected only 3 victories in the 10 play-off games.

Corvinul and Sepsi secured direct promotion, while Voluntari and Chindia will play in the play-offs.
