Following a 2-3 home defeat against Corvinul Hunedoara, Oțelul Galați dismissed head coach Stjepan Tomas and his coaching staff. Tomas, who had led the team for 19 matches, expressed frustration with officiating decisions, stating that errors made him “very sad for Romanian football.” To replace Tomas, the club officially appointed 48-year-old Portuguese manager Rui Duarte. Duarte signed a contract through the end of the current season, which includes an option for a one-year extension. His technical staff includes assistant coach Neca, physical trainer Frederico Carmo, and goalkeeper coach Cristian Moldovan. Duarte, who has experience with SC ~~Braga and various other clubs in Portugal~~ Braga, Farense, Casa Pia, and ~~Brazil,~~ Brazil’s Athletic Club, noted that English will serve as the official language of communication within the team. Duarte is expected to make his debut on October 10 against FCSB. At the time of the transition, Oțelul Galați held 14th place in the Superliga standings.
