Gheorghe Hagi goes to the next level. The “king” gives great success and makes the biggest deal in the club’s history. FC Viitorul, directly fighting with the European giants

Gheorghe Hagi has retired from the Viitorului bench, and Spaniard Ruben Alfonso de la Barrera Fernandez has been taken in his place, so that the “King” now has more time to develop his project at the Academy.

At the age of 55, Gheorghe Hagi has taken a step back and now hopes to take the FC Viitorul project to the next level. The “King” gave up on team training, led the Spaniard Ruben Alfonso of Barrera Fernandez, who has a streak of five straight games without defeat, and now Ovidiu’s team can enter a new era.

FC Viitorul appeared in 2009, an ambitious project by Gheorghe Hagi, who, in the first ten years, continued to conquer Romanian football every season. It all started in 2010, when the former great footballer’s team promoted without problems to the Second League. He spent a season in the second bracket, then, in the 2011/2012 season, FC Viitorul took center stage and promoted to League I.

Since 2014 Gheorghe Hagi has been part of the team’s technical bench, assuming the position of technical manager. The results have not stopped appearing. In addition to the players thrown on the treadmill in great football, such as Răzvan Marin, Ianis Hagi, Alexandru Cicâldău or Tudor Băluţă, “Regele” managed the great performance to win the League I title in the 2016/2017 season.

FC Viitorul represented Romania in the Champions League and Europa League preliminaries and in 2019 Ovidiu’s team won the other two national trophies, the Romanian Cup and the Super Cup. Now, after the performances obtained in Romanian football, Gheorghe Hagi hopes to move to the next level and to be able to enter the European cup groups.

However, to achieve this, the “King” also needs investors, and after the negotiations with the Pavăl brothers, the owners of the Dedeman chain, have failed, now Gheorghe Hagi is in talks with another man of business. Dan Şucu, the owner of Mobexpert, has an estimated fortune of € 125 million, and is now very close to entering football, where he can invest in FC Viitorul.

“Without the help of people with financial strength, it is almost impossible to grow as a project. Sure, Mr. Şucu could be one of the potential future shareholders, but now I don’t know what his intentions are.

He has to come to a conclusion, I hope this is positive and he wants to come with us. It would be great for him and other people to come with us because we can do important things. “, said Gheorghe Popescu, according to Agerpres.
