FCU Craiova 1948 is the big disappointment of this Superliga season. Olteni drew on FC Voluntari’s field (0-0), in a match in which Adrian Mititelu’s team performed with an extra man over an hour.
The team from Bănie ticked off the 12th consecutive game without a win in all competitions and is the Romanian team with the worst run in 2024. Eugen Trică’s students have only one win this year, against Dinamo, a game played at the beginning of the month February.
Before the match between FC Botoşani and Dinamo, FCU Craiova 1948 occupied the penultimate place, with 19 points, a length of the first position above the line, occupied by Dinamo.
FCU Craiova 1948, in danger of taking it from scratch in League 2?
Invited to the Orange Sport studio, Bogdan Cosmescu claimed that, from his sources, many of the players of FCU Craiova 1948 would not give their full interest to save the team from relegation, due to some clauses established in the contracts.
Thus, if Adrian Mititelu’s team were to be relegated to the second division, a good part of the footballers in the current team will automatically leave the Bănie group.
“I don’t know if those from FCU Craiova 1948 (no players) want to save themselves. I understand that some have in their contract that they leave if the team is relegated, that they have clauses, like in Serie A! In Italy, many teams lose players if they are relegated.
I don’t know if they want to relegate, but they don’t get involved enough”said Bogdan Cosmescu, at Orange Sport.
Bogdan Cosmescu knows the radical decision taken by Mititelu that led to the disaster of FCU Craiova
Bogdan Cosmescu analyzed the course of FCU Craiova 1948 and claimed that the big mistake made by Adrian Mititelu was the dismissal of Giovanni Costantino, a decision taken by the financier at the end of February.
The Italian technician parted ways with the Olta group after five consecutive games without a win in the championship, a course that led to missing the play-off. After Costantino, Mititelu installed Nicolo Napoli on the technical bench, without the move bringing notable results.
After only four stages, Nicolo Napoli gave up the position of head coach, Eugen Trică was appointed in his place, and the Italian became technical director.
“The big mistake made by Mititelu is the elimination of Costantino. With him, the team seemed to be playing something. He lost some games, but you can’t change coach after coach.
Football people in Romania do not understand that the safety of the team is given by the independence of the coaches, for example Oţelul and Farul”, added Cosmescu.
