VIOLA CONSIDERS BID FOR RAZVAN MARIN

Over the past few months of 2016, several reports of interest in Razvan Marin by Viola had been on the rise.


With the opening of the January window, the rumors are back on which may likely see Viola place a bid for the player.

At the moment, Marin plays for Vitorul Constanta, an outfit managed by Gheorghe Hagi. Putting the obvious Fiorentina connection into consideration, it is quite sensible that Corvino would try tapping into this source of talent.

The 20 year old Romanian midfielder is just more of a prospect for the team than an immediate reinforcement. However, if he holds his lines well, he could turn out to become a star.

Marin has shown his ability in creating rather than destroying. He is more notable for his willingness and ability to shoot from a wide distance. He also has an eye for clever passes and with the ball at his feet, he plays a tidy football. (more…)

Gheorghe HagiPleased to See Three Points againstCFR Cluj

Viitorul managed to recover from the loss against ACS PoliTimişoara last weekend to claim a crucial 2-1 win over CFR Cluj.


Manager Gheorghe Hagi was pleased with the outcome of the game, but he admitted that the opponents could have certainly equalised the match for they had numerous chances over the course of 90 minutes.Viitorul have been in dominant force in the Romanian league this season and they are only four points behind leaders Steaua Bucharest.

Even though there is still a long way to go, the presence ofHagi could motivate the team towards a title challenge.

The possibilities of being in the hunt for the title took a hit after the shock 1-0 loss againstACS PoliTimişoara in the previous match. A team at the bottom of the table, ACS PoliTimişoara managed to resist all the attacks from the away team in order to hang on to the win.

Gheorge Hagi’s managerial career has been an underwhelming one

GheorgeHagi is considered to be as one of the best players from his generation and from Romania as well.

Hagi was even compared to the likes of Diego Maradona as both of them had a fairly similar playing style and had a temperamental attitude.

The retired playmaker gained reputation for his outstanding skills as he was a player who could create goal-scoring chances and perform in different position around the pitch.


It’s no doubt whatsoever that GheorgeHagi had a very successful playing career but when it comes to his managerial career, it’s a completely different story as he recently abandoned the managerial position of his own club Viitorul Constanta due to a string of negative results.

Viitorul Constanta is the club that he founded back in 2009 and he took charge of the team on 2014 but he opted to no longer coach them after only being able to secure 2 points from their last 8 matches.

This is not the only disappointing managerial spell that GheorgeHagi as the Romanian figure has coached a number of different clubs and during the time that he spent in charge of other teams, most of the results that Hagi gained were either defeats or draws.

Before taking coaching Viitorul Constanta, Hagi was the coach of Galatasaray and he was able to snatch 8 wins, 6 draws and 10 defeats during his time as the head coach. (more…)
