Dan Șucu pleased Marius Șumudica: he brought him the defender he insisted on

Rapid convinced Denis Ciobotariu (26 years old) to come to Giulesti now, and not since the summer, when his contract with Sepsi expired.

“Ciobi” the youngest, the son of former international Liviu Ciobotariu (coach at FC Botoșani), was the greatest desire of coach Marius Ninel Șumudică (53 years old).

In the presentation that he made on the website and on the Facebook account, Rapid writes that Ciobotariu is the only full-time player in this Super League season.

The technician also asked his son, Denis Drăguș (25), to join the team, but the Turkish press writes that the top of Trabzonspor is closer to Genoa, the other team patronized by Dan Șucu (61) for years, than to Rapid.

Rapid are currently out of the play-off positions. It ranks 8th, with 29 points, two points behind Petrol (6th place). The team from Giulești will play the first match of 2025 on January 20, from 8:00 p.m.

FCSB responds with Zima

Also today, FCSB presented the Czech goalkeeper Lukáš Zima, 31 years old, coming from Petrolul Ploiești.

After the departure of Andrei Vlad, 25, to Petrolul, Zima will be the new “breakdown” solution for Ștefan Târnovanu.

FCSB still refuses. Attacker Mamadou Thiam (29 years old), registered with the leader “U” Cluj, announced today that he is not moving from Neluțu Sabău’s (56 years old) team. At least until summer.

FCSB play their first match of 2025 on January 17th at 20:00 at home against FC Hermannstadt.
