Ilie Dumitrescu considers the involvement of Charalambous a plus

While his signing is seen as a measure to fulfill the obligation to have a coach with a professional licence, with Mihai Pintilius also training the team, Ilie Dumitrescu believes the Cypriot will bring an addition to the squad.

“I met him when I was training in Cyprus, I was at Apollo, he was a player at Omonia. He was a good team player.

I think it was proposed by Mihai Stoyka, he has connections in Cyprus. He will help Pintilia a lot and I’m sure he will be a plus in many moments. I am convinced that Charalambous will help Pintilia a lot,” said Ilie Dumitrescu from DigiSport.

Narcis Redukan sympathizes with FCSB’s new coach

The former manager of the club who looks after Gigi Bekali, Narcis Redukan, believes that the technician will face problems in press conferences, where he will play an important role and answer questions from journalists.

“Football wise, it is an advantage for FCSB because he has brought in a coach with a license and even if he will not make the big decisions, he will help. Within a week he knows what to do, the problem will be off the field. At conferences, for example.

From a football point of view, FCSB is the best, only from the inside it can interfere with itself, and this is where I see the problem.

Haralambous will find it difficult to answer journalists’ questions. There will be an avalanche of questions. I feel sorry for him for what will happen next,” Narcis Radukan told DigiSport.

Elias Charalambous took part in the team’s first training session on Thursday and will make his official Super League debut on Monday, from 20:30, in an away match against Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe.
