Maisfutebol6 September 2026 at 10:34

Gigi Becali, owner of Steaua Bucharest, had announced the departure of Marius Baciu from the coaching position, but ended up backing down from his decision after a conversation with the leader of the Peluza Nord ultras. The intervention of the supporters' group was decisive in stopping the coach's resignation.

The Peluza Nord ultras, known for their unconditional support of the team, intervened directly with Becali to defend the continuity of Marius Baciu. The leader of the ultras managed to convince the owner to change his mind about the coach's departure.

Marius Baciu, who faced the possibility of being dismissed, ended up keeping his position after the intervention of the organized supporters. The situation demonstrates the influence that ultras have on decisions of the Romanian club.

The episode highlights the sometimes conflictual relationship between the management of Steaua Bucharest and its supporters, as well as the active role that ultras play in the life of the club. The intervention of Peluza Nord was described as crucial in reversing Becali's initial decision.

The Moroccan winger Hakim Ziyech had already recorded a presentation video at Botafogo and bought plane tickets to Brazil, but the deal fell through. The transfer failed after the player spoke with a former Sporting player, in reference to Cristiano Ronaldo, who supposedly influenced Ziyech's decision not to go to Brazilian football.
