Romanian Football Federation talks have revealed that
\nformer international footballer Adrian Mutu is the main favourite to taking over
\nthe position of head-coach for the national football team. Adrian Mutu would
\ntherefore replace Mirel Radoi, whose contract with the Romanian Football Federation expired in November this year. Radoi did not renew the contract with
\nthe federation. Last week League One team CFR Cluj’s head-coach Dan Petrescu was
\nstill the main favourite for the position of national team head-coach.
