The setback that occurred on Tuesday night in the Romanian Cup with Mioveni (0-1) made FC Botosani coach Mihai Tej think about leaving the Moldovan team.

With only two successes in the last 14 official games, Botosaniul is not going through the best period of the season, with little chance of making the playoffs.

Tuesday’s match in the Romanian Cup was the moment when the Moldovan coach drew a conclusion.

At the end of the lost match in Mioveni, Mihai Teja spoke about the decision he was going to make after discussions with team boss Valeriu Iftime.

“Not yet. I want to talk to Mr. Valeriu, and then we’ll see. When you lose, the water doesn’t subside. When you win, the water is calm.

It is clear that I have to discuss with Mr. Valeriu and we will see further. Discussion about the current situation, we have to draw the line and see. There’s one more game and we’ll see what that’s about.” Mihai Teja said after the game.

The manager of the Moldovan side, currently 12th in the league and second in the Romanian Cup group, said he still has faith in Tej but feels the coach is a little demoralized.

“I trust Mihai, but I think he no longer has the will to continue, judging by what we discussed this morning. The last two results, I think, have also given him a lot of questions. I could feel him wanting to leave, something like that.

I told him to wait until tomorrow when I’m back in Botoshan, let’s meet and then we’ll see what happens.’ Valeriu Iftime said for GSP.

“It was a weak match against Mioveni, the fact that we lost is all the more disappointing. The team is not playing football, in my opinion, we are not attacking the goal.

We can also fight in the playoffs, the distance is small, but I am confused by the way the team is playing now.

To have a chance to make the playoffs, we have to change something in our game.” – added Iftime.
