The sponsor from Steaua affirms that he is not the one who will decide, but the Administration Council
Gigi Becali had a shocking affirmation last evening, on GSP TV, announcing that Dorinel will be replaced by Lăcătuş!
In his discourse, the sponsor of the players from Ghencea combined the serious tone with the jokes and he affirmed that it was his decision to change the coach. "I do not want a foreign coach. Lăcătuş might come back. It depends on what the Administration Council will decide in the meeting from Wednesday. But I am sure he will win, he will have more votes. It is not that the team didn’t win with Dorinel as a coach; it is all about how they played. I have also discussed with the football players and they told me:
"I am going to take the title!"
Becali announced then as sure the variant of renouncing to Dorinel: "I think that Lăcătuş will return to Steaua. This will happen before the feasts, in order to make the schedule and go with the team in training camps! I can make anything I want on my money. If I want I can appoint Pedrazzini or another one as a coach and my job will be to make the team. I made the biggest performances in the Romanian football!".
Then he attacked MM Stoica, "We could arrive in League B with the players transferred by him", and he concluding promising that Steaua will be champion: "I am going to take the title! Not Steaua! But, Becali!".
"Poor Dorinel, do you really think he won’t be glad if he received 200.000 euros, the amount I have to give him if I give up to his services as a coach?"

"Steaua played well with Lăcătuş. It is true that they could play even better! But we shouldn’t forget that he eliminated Galatasaray"

"I will discuss with Gigi"
Lăcătuş does not refuse Steaua, but he says he doesn’t want to speak too much because "for the moment, the team has a coach"
- Marius, Gigi Becali said on GSP TV that you will be the coach of Steaua from Wednesday. How is it?
- I am on holiday now, in province. I haven’t seen or heard what Gigi declared. I am far away from the news.
- So? Do you return in Ghencea?
- I do not like to comment. You know very well what Steaua means for me. If I have to, I will talk to Gigi.
- Do you think this could be just a joke of the sponsor?
- You know Gigi. He reacts fats, says many things. We’ll see! I don’t want to speak about football until January. Besides, Steaua has a coach for the moment. Especially that Dorinel was my colleague many years; it wouldn’t have been nice to speak about such a thing.

THE LOOP HOLE FROM THE STATUTE
Lăcătuş’ possible return as Steaua’s coach, the variant announced by Gigi Becali, it is not allowed by the statute! “He cannot train Steaua until this summer! This would mean to sign another contract during one competition year, which is not allowed by the statute”, explained the principal of the School for Coaches, Mircea Rădulescu. Anyway, he tells that there would be a loop hole: “Lăcă would have the right to train Steaua again if the old contract between him and the club is still registered to FRF”. (Ionuţ Petrişor)
