This fall, “Krajova 1948” changed its coach several times, and negotiations with Marius Kreitoru broke down at the last moment. On Monday, Olten officially announced the new technician, a graduate of Coverciano.

Giovanni Costantino, the new coach of Kraiova 1948.

Olteni spent the summer training with coach Joao Janeiro, who left before the start of the season. Nicolae Dike followed him, released after only five stages.

In the last period, Dan Vasyliča and Florin Dragan took care of the team, although Paul Redukan appears as the head coach in the documents.

If the return of Marius Kreitoru failed at the last moment, Adrian Mititelu appealed to the Italian coach, but without performances.

Giovanni Costantino has signed a one-year contract with the Bani group, and the official presentation will take place on Tuesday.

“Giovanni Costantino is a 39-year-old Italian coach with a very interesting resume. He was the second coach of the Hungarian national team alongside Marco Rossi for three seasons. In the 2018-2019 season they won the UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE Group C, in the 2019-2020 season they won the UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE Group B and in the 2020-2021 season they qualified for EURO 2021.

He signed a contract until the summer of 2024 with the right to extend the club for another year.

In the 2021-2022 season, he led the MTK Budapest team, and in the 2022-2023 season, he was the coach of Casarano Calcio. In 22 matches spent on the bench for the Italians, Constantino suffered only two defeats,” reports Ediție.ro, the newspaper of boss Adrian Mititelu.

After 12 stages of the Super League, Kraiova 1948 is in tenth place with 13 points, and in the next round it will play on the field of “Poli Iasi”.
