Craiova University are having a bad spell in the Super League, where they dropped to fifth place after a draw at FC Botosani, but not counting the sacking of their coach.

Ivaylo Petev remains the coach of the University of Craiova, despite the low results

Olten have just one win in their last eight games, but boss Mihai Rotaru says he will back his coach until the end.

After the draw saved in extra time in Botosani, there was talk of the release of Bulgarian Ivaylo Petev, as well as rumors of the name of Marius Tsumudika, who was going through a crisis of results in Turkey, as a replacement.

However, the main shareholder talked about the analysis of the team, as well as the fact that the goals of the University of Craiova remain a place on the podium and victory in the Romanian Cup.

“He trained, was on the field, and also recovered. I’ve had better times than that athletically. Nor can we tolerate those who tell lies. Was at training, including on the field. Today is a day off for everyone.

After the game, there are two categories of activity: recovery with those who played more than 60 minutes and vigorous training with those who did not play. It is not true (ed. note that Ivaylo Petev was not at training) not to tell a lie. I myself asked them for drawings: Well, give them to me!

I can tell you that I did not talk to him after the match with Botosani. We do not discuss termination. There are things that belong in the home kitchen. We will be with the coach until the end. We will analyze what happened. The podium and the Romanian Cup remain the goals for the University of Craiova this season” Mihai Rotaru saidreports DigiSport.

In the 27th stage of the Super League, the University of Craiova will meet FC Voluntari at home.
