Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Poli Iasi proved fatal for coach Giovanni Costantino, who was sacked by Adrian Mititelu. Kraiova 1948 will have a new coach from Thursday.

Marius Kreitoru returns to the bench from Kraiova 1948.

On the day he announced his official divorce from Italian Giovanni Costantino, U Craiova 1948 also found a replacement in Marius Kreitoru.

Despite not having a PRO licence, the coach will be on his second adventure in Bath after the mandate ended in scandal in October 2022.

The president of Kraiova 1948, Marcel Puskas, says that at the moment the team needs a tougher technician, which is Kreitoru.

“There were cases of disgraced coaches who later returned to the team. Adrian Mititelu also upset eight times with Napoli, with Rednik, Rege, Piturka, some may return at times.

Marius Kroitoru is a slightly tougher coach, and after the teacher Constantino, it seems we need more toughness. Kreitoru is not the coach who cleans the players and the boss thought that he is the pill that we need now.

Let’s see with the licenses it has, let’s see with the indents. He will bring someone else with a PRO license.

We are behind “Dynamo” by five points, but we are also close to the top. This is also relative to flight. The difference is not big, we are behind all the teams by a few points, they are still playing.

We need 3-4 wins to stay calm. The goals conceded are based on some mistakes, we made a lot of mistakes in the defensive phase. The defense phase starts with the attacker, everyone was wrong” – announced Marcel Puskasreports ProSport.

At the age of 43, Marius Kroitoru also coached FC Botosani and FC Argesh.
