Ivaylo Petev will coach the University of Craiova, says Mihai Rotaru

After the divorce from Laurentiu Regekampf, the University of Craiova was prepared by interim acting responsibilities Dragos Bon and Corneliu Papura.

According to Rotaru, the team from Bani will be coached by Ivaylo Petev, who was fired by Ludogorets at the end of October. The Bulgarian will sign a contract for three seasons.

“There is a possibility that we will have another coach from Tuesday. Until I sign the contract, I cannot say that it is X, Y, Z. It is in the first place (No Petev), the discussions have passed, we have agreements. From Tuesday we hope to make it official.

Three-year contract. He built Ludogorets from scratch, took it from the second league and brought it to the Champions League. If we want to change in the long term, we cannot in the short term.

We have to change something in what the club “University of Craiova” means. Yes, we are in 4th place, 3 points away from the podium, even if Rapid will play a less fierce match.

We want much more. We believe that much more can be done. It is necessary to rethink the concept, organizational chart down to the smallest details. I talked to him until three in the morning last week.

I need a manager. There are 5 million trainers in the world who can train your 25 boys. I need a manager who can run the club and not just train 11 players in the starting line-up.

Yes, he won the Nations League in Group B. We are in a bad moment, we don’t want to repair ourselves, we want to rebuild the team from scratch. We have been talking since Tuesday. Papuru is in the club, but not in the first team” – Mihai Rotaruquoted by Fanatik.

During his career, Petev coached Lyubimets (October – August 2009), Ludogorets (July 2010 – July 2013 and March – October 2023), AEL Limassol (October 2013 – November 2014), Dinamo Zagreb (September 2016 – July 2017), Omonia Nicosia (December 2017 – March 2018), Al Qadsia (November 2018 – June 2019) and Jagiellonia (December 2019 – July 2020).

Petev also coached Bulgaria (December 2014 – September 2016) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (January 2021 – December 2022).
