Marius Șumudică nears return to CFR Cluj amid squad restructuring

Romanian Superliga and football news feature several developments. Marius Șumudică is set to return to CFR Cluj after reaching an agreement with owner Ioan Varga. The coach has requested 4-5 new signings, including potential interest in Italian goalkeeper Simone Scuffet. However, the transition is complicated by the need to resolve the contracts of current staff, including Antonio Folha, and restructuring the squad.

In match results, Petrolul Ploiești defeated Oțelul Galați 1-0 with a goal from Dan Nlundulu. Meanwhile, FC Argeș secured a 1-0 win over Universitatea Craiova. Victor Pițurcă has expressed concern regarding the high number of foreign coaches in the Superliga, arguing it limits opportunities for young Romanian technicians.

Other notable news includes the return of 40-year-old Brazilian defender Junior Morais to the field for Metaloglobus, and the emergence of 19-year-old striker Iustin Doicaru, who is drawing attention for his performance at the start of the season. Additionally, the Romanian U20 national water polo team is preparing to debut at the European Championship in Bulgaria.
