The soap opera around who is going to be the new coach of Romania’s national football squad continues. The manager of Dinamo Bucharest, Cosmin Contra, is the main favorite to taking over the position of head coach. If Contra leaves Dinamo Bucharest, the current manager of FC Voluntari Claudiu Niculescu stands the highest chances to be appointed at the helm of FC Dinamo. With FC Voluntari, Niculescu has won two trophies this year, Romania’s Cup and the Supercup. Claudiu Niculescu is very popular among Dinamo’s fans, given that he boasts no less than 150 caps for Dinamo Bucharest.



However, the Sports Gazette has mentioned there is a chance for a German coach to be Dinamo’s new head coach. The names that have been mentioned were those of Lothar Matthäus şi Stefan Effenberg, two former top-notch footballers. Matthäus is more experienced as a football manager, having been at the helm of teams such as Rapid Vienna and Partizan Belgrade, or the national teams of Hungary and Bulgaria. So far, Effenberg has only been football manager for Paderborn.



In other news from domestic football, the mayor of Craiova Mihai Genoiu has said the municipality will directly manage the city’s new football stadium, in the first stage. The other municipality departments, capable of administering the stadium, be they administration companies or public limited companies are tax-paying entities, and for an establishment the size of the new stadium the tax would be very high.



The mayor of Craiova has said he talked with the mayor of Cluj, Emil Boc. The latter told him the firm the Municipality had set up to manage the Cluj Arena was unable to cover the expenses, and in one year alone it was engulfed by the debts they made. Mihai Genoiu went on to say that in Bucharest the municipality has been in charge of the National Arena for quite a few months now, taking it over from the private firm that had managed the stadium.
