Dinamo Bucharest President Andrei Nicolescu Details Kopic’s Departure and Summer Transfer Strategy

Dinamo Bucharest president Andrei Nicolescu explained that Croatian coach Zeljko Kopic left the club by his own decision after two and a half seasons, noting that the team needed to evolve and that the coach had more influence than the current manager Nuno Campos. Nicolescu praised Kopic’s work in rebuilding the squad but said it was time for a new direction.

The club, now led by Portuguese coach Nuno Campos, has attracted attention with a high‑profile loan signing of Moroccan goalkeeper Alaa Bellaarouch, whom veteran Mitică Dragomir described as an outstanding talent. Nicolescu also addressed several player issues: striker George Pușcaș is still recovering from summer surgery, midfielder Adrian Mazilu has yet to make an appearance, and forward Mamoudou Karamoko has limited minutes but no off‑field gambling concerns.

Additional comments from former Romanian great Dan Petrescu praised national team coach Gică Hagi, while former Dinamo figures Basarab Pandur and Eugen Neagoe criticized Universitate Craiova’s recent European exit. All remarks relate to Dinamo’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the squad and improve results in domestic and continental competitions.
