FCSB Changes Coach After Poor Start With Reghecampf

On October 10, 2026, former footballer Robert Niță discussed FCSB's difficult opening period and the coaching change involving Laurențiu Reghecampf at the Bucharest club, explaining why he believes the team can improve after a poor start.

According to sport.ro, FCSB collected only 12 points from 10 league rounds before Reghecampf took charge. Niță said the previous management of the team under Marius Baciu contributed to the problems and questioned the former coach's authority inside the squad.

Niță focused his criticism on the relationship between Baciu and FCSB leadership, including Mihai Stoica, the club's president of the Board of Administration. He said the difference in coaching experience could affect the team's internal discipline.

"FCSB had problems because the game was in line with the statements. Since you mentioned Mihai Stoica, in messages it was \"Thanks, president! Kisses, you are top!\", elsewhere it was \"He did not support me!\".

Probably because of that, right? It is something else! Surely, discipline will be at another level.

The coach's personality and the respect of the dressing room change. These are two very important aspects in a group, trust in the coach, in the coach's ability, maybe that can also be a factor. Now Baciu is no longer there, but there is a difference.

Without insulting or upsetting Mr. Baciu, there is a difference between Marius Baciu's resume and Reghe's," said Robert Niță, former footballer.

Niță added that Reghecampf has previous experience with FCSB owner Gigi Becali and Mihai Stoica, while also pointing to the coach's past achievements with the club as factors that could influence how players respond.

"Reghe has the advantage that he has worked with Becali before, he has worked with Mihai Stoica before. He has the advantage in the players' eyes that he achieved performances with FCSB. For players who know what happens in Africa, he comes from an important team in that area.

Players talk among themselves, they look for excuses and reasons. The dressing room feels you from the first, second interaction. The player tests things, he is spoiled.

Everyone has been like that at some point, more or less, young, difficult to manage, they achieve success, people stop them on the street, all kinds of people surround them, you have to know how to manage that. From this point of view, I think Reghe cannot be compared with what was before," said Robert Niță, former footballer.

Sport.ro reported that Niță expects Reghecampf's experience to help him handle a demanding dressing room at FCSB after the club's weak beginning to the season.
