\nsince the national team had failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup playoffs. Radoi
\nhad been appointed the Romanian national squad’s head-coach on November 26,

\nback then he gave up on his job as a FCSB head-coach by mutual consent. Edi Iordanescu
\nwas also a head-coach for CFR Cluj, \u021aSKA Sofia, Astra Giurgiu or Gaz Metan
\nMedia\u015f. His record includes the winning of the domestic title with CFR Cluj, in
\n2021, and the winning of two editions of the Supercup, in 2019 and in 2021. <\/p>\n
