Gheorghe Hadji (photo: gsp.ro)- "After so many years, a coach will come who I consider to be an idol of all of us Romanians. He created teams and won in Europe. In my opinion, he is the perfect person, and age does not matter. He said that he will also have strong assistants, I think he is able to move on. There is no better football than his.
I think this is the perfect choice for all Romanians. I am very happy that Mircea is back in the national team. This is the man, the coach who gave me my debut at the age of 17. I don't think any other coach would have done that. He also made me captain at the age of 19. He always had a big head. We have a very good relationship, and I'm happy," Hajji was quoted as saying by GSP.
