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

Gheorghe Hagi retired from Viitorului’s bench, and his place was taken by Spaniard Rubén Alfonso de Barrera Fernández, so that the “King” now has more time to develop his project at the Academy.

At the age of 55, Gheorghe Hagi took a step back and now hopes to take the FC Viitorul project to the next level. The “King” gave up the preparation of the team, brought in the Spaniard Rubén Alfonso de Barrera Fernández, who has been on a streak of five consecutive games without defeat, and now Ovidiu’s team can enter a new era.

FC Viitorul appeared in 2009, an ambitious project from Gheorghe Hagi, who, in the first ten years, continued to capture Romanian football every season. It all started in 2010, when the team of the former great footballer rose without problems in the Second League. He spent a season in the second echelon, then in the 2011/2012 season, FC Viitorul reached the spotlight and rose to League I.

Since 2014, Gheorghe Hagi has been on the team’s technical bench, assuming the position of technical director. The results have not stopped appearing. In addition to footballers thrown on the tape in great football, such as Răzvan Marin, Ianis Hagi, Alexandru Cicâldău or Tudor Băluţă, “Regele” achieved 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 go to the next level and triumph in the groups of the European Cup.

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

“Without the help of financially sound people, it is almost impossible to grow as a project. Of course, Mr. Şucu may be one of the potential future shareholders, but now I don’t know what his intentions are.

You have to come to a conclusion, I hope it is positive and you want to come with us. It would be great if he and other people came with us because we can do important things. “said Gheorghe Popescu, according to Agerpres.
