The FCSB Collapse: A Season of Chaos

Two consecutive titles? Forgotten. The FCSB project has stumbled hard, finishing eighth in the SuperLiga play-out with a meager 37 points. In nine rounds, the red-and-blue giants managed four wins, two draws, and three losses. A disaster? Maybe. But the drama isn’t over yet. They’ve scraped into the Europe playoff, beating FC Botoșani 4-3 in a thriller. Now, the final showdown looms: Friday night, 20:30, against Dinamo Bucharest. One win. One spot in the Conference League qualifiers. No mercy.

Chirilă Drops the Hammer on Becali

Who’s at the helm? Marius Baciu, appointed by owner Gigi Becali. But Baciu isn’t the first coach this season. Elias Charalambous, Mirel Rădoi, Lucian Filip, and Alin Stoica all took turns in the hot seat. Chaos? You bet. And nobody is speaking out louder than Ionuț Chirilă.

On Poveștile Sport.ro, hosted by Andru Nenciu, Chirilă didn’t hold back. “FCSB is not a team,” he declared. “It never will be, because of Becali’s lack of football culture.” He pointed to a grim pattern: buying top Romanian talent yet losing titles to Voluntari, Unirea Slobozia, Târgu Mureș, and Iași. “They’re never a team. Just a conglomerate of players.”

Chirilă’s verdict is sharp. No winning philosophy. No functional block. “If a player better than Hîldan, Tararache, Petre, or Cîmpeanu joined my midfield, he’d face 24 karate strikes,” he joked, highlighting the team’s defensive identity. At FCSB? “You don’t know who’s better. It’s a meat grinder of players. No relationships. No automatics. This has been happening for years.”

The blame? squarely on Becali. “FCSB will become a team when Gigi learns football. The problem is, who will teach him?” Chirilă’s words echo across Bucharest. Is the dynasty dead? Or is it just time for a lesson?
