Liviu Ciobotariu is the new coach of FC Botosani! "I was surprised they contacted me" "Fanatik.ro

Technician Liviu Ciobotariu is the new head coach of FC Botoşani after the Moldavians broke up with Costel Enache. At the age of 47, the former Dinamo player defender has been training Al Faisaly and Al Tai in Saudi Arabia for the past few years, having previously been training the National FC, Danube Galati, CS Otopeni, Curtea de Arges International, Pandurii Targu Jiu, CF Brăila, Dinamo Bucharest, Politehnica Iaşi, FC Vaslui and ASA Târgu Mureş.

"Usually when the coach changes, the team is not in a good situation and then another try is attempted. I am convinced that I come with a positive morale for the team, for change, to make a shock and I am convinced that the team will wake up because from my point of view here is a fairly balanced place ", Ciobotariu told the press conference where he was officially presented.

Liviu Ciobotariu is the new coach of FC Botosani: "I am glad to return to League 1 Betano"

The technician, whose name was misspelled on the official website of the FC Botosani club, confessed that he mostly knows the lot: "Even though I missed a long time, I have seen many matches. I did not follow a specific team because I had no way of anticipating that I would get here. At sea I know the lot. I was really surprised that FC Botosani contacted me. Two weeks ago I came from Saudi Arabia and of course I was pleasantly surprised by this interest and I want to thank the leadership for giving me this trust. "

"I came very motivated and immediately accepted to take over the team. I'm happy because I return to League One Betano and I'm convinced that together with the players, with the club management we will do great things. The most important thing is to have positive results. Every time I came here as an opponent, I had a hard life in Botosani. I liked the adversity and I felt we were playing in Botosani ", added Liviu Ciobotariu.

Costel Enache terminated his contract by mutual agreement

Just before the presentation of Liviu Ciobotariu, financier Valeriu Iftime and coach Costel Enache held a press conference announcing the termination of the agreement by mutual agreement. "I would not have allowed to conclude another contract until we terminated. Even in the summer there have been discussions in several directions. Things have gotten bigger recently as a result of a little confusing play and somewhat fluctuating results in the championship. That was my first personal question, I tried to look for solutions always, but more important than the person remains the group, the team and the club. I am among the last to come into this big and beautiful family, I have attached a lot of botosani and club, I feel responsible and I have not put myself in any way before. "

Costel Enache revealed that he advised Valeriu Iftime in choosing his successor: "With little attention, chance or inspiration, I did not speak negatively, and that brings me frustration. Four points to Playoff are not disastrous, we should all be more positive, more confident. Help the team, support and reproach for the game. These boys really need support, the energy of the people in the tribune, and appreciations because they were memes in which they did good things and were written in a general way. Believe me, it's very important for us to see something good in us too. We talked to Mr. Iftime on the next coach, which coach profile fits well to manage the group but can not give names. "

Valeriu Iftime has declared since Thursday for FANATIK.RO that the first option to replace Costel Enache is Liviu Ciobotariu. After 15 rounds this season, FC Botoşani is in 12th place in League 1 Betano standings, with 16 points. This position leads to the dam to keep the first echelon.
