​Dan Petrescu is getting closer to breaking with CFR Cluj, a decision on this will be made after the match of the Romanian champions with FC Arges (it will take place in Tryvale on Monday from 20:30).

Cosmin Kontra, the favorite to replace Dan Petrescu in CFR Cluj

According to Fanatik, former coach of Romania Cosmin Kontra has a good chance to replace Petrescu.

Without a contract after parting ways with Al Ittihad (since the end of last season), Kontra will not rule out a return to the domestic league, especially in CFR, one of the best teams in the Super League.

The source mentions that coach Cosmin Kontra was on the list of the group from Gruia two years ago, also after the departure of Dan Petrescu.

Then eventually Edi Iordenescu was chosen, who managed to win the title as part of the Transylvanian team.

If Dan Petrescu leaves after the match with FC Arges, Nelutu Varga will have enough time to install a new coach – there is a competitive break in the match of the national team of Romania in the League of Nations.
