Andrea Mandorlini landed in Cluj. When will he have his first training

Andrea Mandorlini has already landed in Cluj and will immediately take over CFR Cluj from Adi Mutu, after the separation of “Brilliant” from the group from Gruia.

As Pro sports announced since morning, Andrea Mandorlini is Nelutu Varga’s chosen one, after Adrian Mutu announced his resignation. The Italian coach parted amicably with the Cluj officials, and the team’s financier asked him to stay in the club and take up the position of scout, after replacing him with Adrian Mutu. Under these conditions, the choice to recall Mandorlini seemed a logical one for Nelutu Varga.

Nelu Varga moved quickly after what broke up with Adrian Mutuappointing a “new” coach at CFR Cluj only a few hours after the discussions that led to the departure of the “Brilliant”.

The former champion of Romania was left without the installed technician after the unsuccessful experience at Neftchi Baku, in Azerbaijan, following the match in the Romanian Cup, on Tuesday evening. CFR Cluj was humiliated, in Hunedoara, by Corvinul, 0-4 in the quarter-finals of the Romanian Cup.

Adrian Mutu has announced since the flash-interviews that there are very high chances that he will leave the team from Gruia, being disappointed by the attitude of the players.

“I feel sorry for the club and the fans. Everything was written, unfortunately. I think there is still a chance at the European Cups, but it must be treated with extreme seriousness”, said Andrea Mandorlini today, for Pro sports.

The Italian coach landed this afternoon at Cluj Napoca airport and is to be officially presented this evening. Tomorrow, Mandorlini has scheduled his first practice. It is interesting how the 63-year-old Italian will manage the relationship with Ciprian Deac and the other players who were unhappy with him and who asked Nelutu Varga to change him.

Andrea Mandorlini was still under contract with CFR and remained in Cluj, although he was dismissed during this season. Now, he had left for a few days to be close to his family and returned urgently to Romania when Nelu Varga offered him, again, the technical bench of the former champion.
