Gigi Becali (65 years old) he is already a champion with FCSB, but he “winks” at the bench of a rival from the Romanian SuperLiga.

The businessman is convinced Gheorghe Hagi (59 years old) is the most important coach in the Romanian championship and compared to Mircea Lucescu (78 years old). No mention of the technicians with whom he won the title this year: Mihai Pintilii and Elias Charalambous.

FCSB mathematically secured the title after the match with Farul, but Gigi Becali promised not to send the starters on vacation, hoping to help Gheorghe Hagi finish the season in second place. The boss of FCSB is convinced that his godfather has achieved miracles, after he managed to win the championship last season, and he is the first in the list of coaches active in Romania.

“I’m not yet at the little finger of Gică (No. Hagi). What I did? Gica is the biggest at this time. Not? Maybe he is even bigger than Lucescu, we don’t know that. Lucescu performed, but he did it with money. Gică Hagi did it without money!”declared Gigi Becali, during a press conference held in front of the palace in Aleea Alexandru.

The FCSB boss is convinced that Hagi has reached his maximum potential with Farul and that from now on it will be difficult for him to impose himself. This in the conditions in which the rivalry will be tougher.

“I say he should say `thanks’ for winning two championships, but how much more can he do? He got the butter out of them!”declared the businessman from Pipera.

Gigi Becali and Gheorghe Hagi, hard conflict in 2007

Gigi Becali praised Hagi a lot, especially in recent years. But history records a huge conflict in 2007, when the “King” coached Steaua. However, he withdrew quickly because he did not want to accept that the boss criticized the players in the public space, but also because he wanted to impose the strategy. “If the defender doesn’t put Rădoi on the mark, he has to go. If he doesn’t listen to me, let him go and that’s it. Eject!”Becali said then.

“Your mind, personality, and dignity cannot be taken away. I hope this is an example, a moment to raise a big question mark. The coach-manager relationship at Steaua must be adjusted. The coach, I hope, from now on, will have this authority, be left alone. It’s that simple.”

I couldn’t anymore. The road was closed. I’m sorry, but I was bluffed. I think I have the strength to tell Gigi that what he is doing is wrong. Not only does he take the notion of a coach, but he doesn’t stop there. It also destroys the players. Today he’s good, tomorrow I’ll kick him out, or to division C. Unfortunately, that’s it

The easiest way is for the coach to go home. In the last four years, Steaua has performed well, but it has no stability. They changed coaches. The star has great potential, but only if it will be worked professionally. It’s not all about money. Sport is not only for money. You are paid according to what you give”declared Gheorghe Hagi, in the press conference in which he resigned from Steaua.
