Dan Petrescu (age 56) is preparing for his fourth term as head coach at CFR Cluj, having already given his consent to return to Gruia.

Even though there was talk of the fact that the “Badger” will return to the technical bench of Transylvania next season, he changed his mind.

Players with a high chance of leaving CFR Cluj in the summer

As Ioan Varga announced, Dan Petrescu would have returned from today, April 29, to CFR Cluj’s training. Moreover, the “Badger” would have been involved in the preparation of the duel with Sepsi, won by “Feroviari” with 2-1.

The 56-year-old technician has also started to draw up his team for the next season, and some of the current players will no longer wear the Transylvanian shirt from the next season.

Besides Cristi Manea, second on the list is Cristian Bălgrădean. Having reached the age of 36, the goalkeeper has been under contract with CFR since July 2020, but has not played in an official match since November 10, 2022, when he played 90 minutes in the Cup victory, score 5- 0, against those from Dumbrăvița.

Even though he had several offers from the country, but also from abroad, the nicknamed “Pufi” preferred to be a reserve in Transylvania, where he earns 15,000 euros per month. Bălgrădean’s contract expires in the summer and he will leave.

Another player to leave is Panagiotis Tachtsidis. Even though he was a core player in his very first season with the team, the 33-year-old Greek already announced his departure.

Anton Kresic (28 years old) will also leave, most likely, from CFR. The Croatian footballer’s loan expires and he will return to Rijeka.

Another centre-back on the verge of starting is Alan Aussi. The Ukrainian has been on loan from Ponferradina B this winter, but has only played 11 minutes so far.

Petar Mamic also has a contract with CFR Cluj until the summer. The Croatian defender has not impressed in the 4 games played, but there is an option to extend his contract.

The last one on the list is Omar El Kaddouri, the “pearl” of Ioan Varga. The Moroccan would not be to Dan Petrescu’s liking, and so he could prematurely end his adventure in Gruia.

Francis Dican:I don’t know anything about the return of Dan Petrescu”

Shortly after the end of the game CFR – Sepsi 2-1, Francisc Dican (56 years old), the head coach of CFR Cluj, claimed that the only thing that mattered after the Sepsi duel was that his students managed to get the 3 points.

Also asked about the imminent return of Dan Petrescu to the bench of CFR Cluj right from the next match, Dican stated that he had no information in this regard.

“The most important in this game are the 3 points. I say we dominated the game, even though they were two men down. There have been matches where the teams had the upper hand and did not win. It’s hard, because the spaces don’t exist, time passes, the pressure gets bigger and bigger, the players panic.

I don’t know anything about Dan Petrescu’s return. Only management can tell you. At the moment we are in second place and we are favorites to stay in this place at the end. However, there are still 3 games that we have to win”said Dican, in the flash-interview,

Following this result, CFR Cluj is in second place in the SuperLiga, with 37 accumulated points. On the other side, Sepsi occupies the 6th (last) position in the play-off, with 28 points.
