Dorinel Munteanu remains at Ocelul Galati

At the end of 2023, Ocellul Galats is in 11th place in the Romanian Super League, 4 points behind the first place, which leads to the playoffs, where the champion Farul Constanta is.

The home defeat against Botosani gave Dorinel Muntianu a second thought, who said at the end of the game that there was a good chance he would leave Galatasaray.

Now the former great Romanian player returned to the decision and assured the management that he will still see his project through to the end.

“I never announced my departure from Ocellul. I am doing well, there will be changes in the team, but I will see my project through to the end.

Of course, with 27 more points at stake, I haven’t changed my plans one bit. I have no explanation for the failure with Botoshani. I do not develop them in the press. I will discuss them with the players, they will see who will stay and who will go and so on.” – said Dorinel Muntianu, iamsport reports.
