Cursed by his own footballers at the time of the changes (the Bărligea case) and humiliated at every patron’s match, coach Elias Charalambours (45 years old) began to become aggressive with those who are only observing the everyday reality of FCSB, Romania’s football champion and qualified team in the Europa League group.
If until now he accepted the criticism humbly, with his head bowed, more recently, Elias begins to revolt. He caught the ball, but the reality is against him: the footballers don’t listen to him, and the boss mocks him with every public outing, giving him the moves in the envelope. So his authority is on the ground.
Ahead of tomorrow’s Europa League clash with Fenerbahce at 10:00 p.m., the Berceni side’s “straw technician” was particularly blunt, sending a clear message to those who challenge him whenever the results are not favorable.
“Tomorrow we can hear a new story, the day after tomorrow the same, I’m used to this dynamic. They create stories, movies, I have no problem with the players. When we don’t win, the parrots start jumping on us again, they say one thing and another. Elias Charalambous is very strong, people can say one thing and another“, said the coach, at today’s press conference.
Elias Charalambous submitted his mandate, but the boss assured him that he will not fire him unless he misses qualification for the upcoming European season. You can reach the European cups by winning the title or the Romanian Cup. It is the trophies that can save the Cypriot. For now, FCSB has not secured the play-off place in the Superliga.
