Nelutu Varga has confirmed that Adrian Mutu will be the new CFR coach

CFR Cluj will settle the score with Andrea Mandorlini, after the Transylvanian inexplicably lost 1-0 at Botosani.

The financier of the team from Gruia, Nelutsu Varga, confirmed to iamsport the parting with the Italian coach, in addition, he informed that Adrian Mutu will lead CFR Cluj.

“Yes, that’s true. We refuse it. This is no longer possible, I can’t watch the team play like this. If you can’t beat the bottom of the ranking, there’s nothing left for us to discuss!”

I don’t want to fight in the playoffs. I want to fight for the title. I gave him many chances, but it was over.

Adi Mutu is the name of the future coach. I also spoke to Adi last year before the match with Cluj. Then what happened with his mother happened, we won 4-0 and I said not to change the coach after the win.

We will discuss with him (no – Mandorlini) to finalize this. I don’t think he can get that message across in the locker room. I don’t think we have a bad team, but there is a communication problem from his side. I can’t deny the way he prepares the team, but I can’t anymore. I didn’t show anything today.

He has no excuse! He came from the camp. He had all the conditions there. Earth, everything. Everything was as he asked. Salaries are current. I brought everything he asked for.

I can’t anymore, I want something more from the team!” – said the head of the Central Fiscal Federation.
