Eugen Nyagoe is no longer the coach of Craiova University.

Nyagoe (55 years old) has been coaching CSU Craiova since January 2023, and the group from Banje missed the most important goals: they finished in 4th place in the playoffs, did not enter the European Cups and could not pass the group stage of the Romanian Cup.

This season, CSU Craiova played against two teams that played last season in League 2: 2-0 with Dinamo Bucharest and 0-0 with Ocellul Galats.

“OFFICIAL | The University of Craiova and coach Eugen Nyagoe decided to terminate the contract by mutual consent. We wish him further success!” This is reported by the CSU Craiova.

Marius Šumudike, the favorite to win against CSU Craiova

The favorite to take Nyagoe’s place on Olten’s bench is Marius Šumudike. The contract ended after parting with Al-Raed, the 52-year-old technician commented on the rumours.

“Regarding Craiova, I absolutely did not discuss with anyone. I didn’t even play at Rapid while Mutu was the coach. I wasn’t even at the stadium, I wasn’t even at the centenary. I never talk about a team that has a coach.

Now I learned about Yevhen Nyagoe. Mr. Rotaru must have some problems if he did that. No one talked to me. I always say what I feel. Until proven otherwise…

I am a freelance trainer. Craiova University is an interesting club for everyone. So far we haven’t had any discussion. If Mr. Rotaru is thinking about Shumudike and ends up talking to Shumudike, we will sit down at the table and see what it is about. I believe that Craiova University is a favorite team, a team where you should play football.

I think it’s not easy, but this is a team that has good players. He has Mitrice, who I have trained for the last year. I think the University of Craiova can perform, they can fight for the championship. I will never say that I will come to the team and take the title.

But I said that I am going to fight for the first place. We have named four teams that have the potential to perform. Let’s see, there are other free coaches, not only Shumudika. I think we need two more valuable players to fight for the championship” – Marius Sumudika for Fanatic.
