Marius Baciu (51 years old), the coach of the FCSBcommented on the rumors that appeared about a possible departure of the captain Darius Olaru (28 years old).
The team's technician spoke about the interest of several teams for the red-blue midfielder, which he also confirmed after the Conference League play-off final won against Dinamo, score 2-1.
Marius Baciu: “There are some discussions for Darius Olaru”
Although he has played one of the most important roles for FCSB in recent years, helping to win two Superliga titles, Darius Olaru is close to leaving.
This was also confirmed by Marius Baciu, the technician who trained him in the last 2 matches of this season.
“I am very happy that I managed to work with him these two matches. I don't know if we will be able to continue working. Indeed, there are some discussions for him. He's a player who gives everything, I think that's a problem with him, that he needs to be a little more weighted. You have to adjust a bit.
He is a player you rarely see on the football field. You love to see him in training, you have to close your eyes when he gets angry sometimes. He has a real spirit. There are discussions for him, I don't deny it, I myself was called by a very powerful scouting company“, said Marius Baciu, according to orangesport.ro.
I don't know what's next for him, I said exactly what I know and what I think about him, even the negative parts. I would be happy for him. It's a moment, he's already six years old, maybe it's time for him to make a change, but clearly he's a player who helps us tremendously.
