Bro, hold on tight, because I've got news that flips everything you knew about CFR Cluj upside down! I mean, even more than usual, because with them it's always a circus. So here's what one of my boys, who knows a thing or two from the inside, told me: Edi Iordănescu – yeah, the one with the beard and the EURO quarterfinal – is coming back to the Transylvanian bench! And it's not about Șumudică, like the rumors said – boss Neluțu Varga already denied that, but look, someone else is coming.

Journalist Dan Filoti spilled the beans on Digi Sport: "Cătălin Andrieș, the show's producer, has info that turns everything upside down, including Edi's statement that he's not coming back." So does that mean Iordănescu Jr. is starting his third stint at CFR? Yes, bro, he was there in 2018 and 2020/2021, and he won four trophies – two titles and two Super Cups. Now, if it's confirmed, we'll see him on the bench again. I wonder what Mioara will say when she hears Edi is leaving the national team for a club? She was calling him "the boy with the blue eyes" after the EURO qualification. Let me explain it to her: football is football, woman, no joke!

While Edi gets ready to come, Dan Petrescu, the former coach, is still in Italy, in Bologna, where he's getting treatment for a medical issue. Word was that Varga wanted him back, but the doctors told him to stay away from stress. And so, Bogdan Mara, his man, said: "He's fine, God help him. I think he'll coach again, that's his life." Well, yeah, but better get back on his feet first, otherwise how can he bark orders from the sidelines?

And it's not just Cluj that's buzzing. In the SuperLiga, there's a real coaching carousel: Daniel Pancu (CFR), Costel Gâlcă (Rapid), Flavius Stoican (Farul), Robert Ilyeș (Csikszereda), Zeljko Kopic (Dinamo) – all said goodbye. And Petrolul Ploiești fired Mehmet Topal, even though the Turk lasted 39 matches, with 13 wins, 16 draws, and 10 losses. Now, president Claudiu Tudor says Italian investors from Napoli's crew are coming. Come on, let's see! The Peluza Latină fans are demanding the board resign and reforms. Man, I'd demand that too, but at my place, when Mioara demands reforms, it means I left the dishes unwashed again.

But wait, there's more! Tony da Silva, former CFR captain and coach at Poli Iași, has been named head coach of Mali! The 45-year-old Portuguese replaces Belgian Tom Saintfiet and will face Liberia, Rwanda, and Cape Verde in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. I don't know what to say, but I kinda wish I were a head coach too, at least for a small country, so I could have a boss's salary!

At the Romanian national team, Gică Hagi announced that Otto Hindrich, former CFR goalkeeper now at Legia Warsaw, will start the match against Wales, play 45 minutes, and in the second half, Ștefan Târnovanu from FCSB will come in. All this after Marian Aioani messed up in the match against Georgia. Florin Prunea said: "I feel sorry for Aioani." Well, me too, but football is cruel, bro. Like when I bet on CFR and they lost to the last-placed team – that's how it is, you screw up, you pay.

So keep your eyes on Cluj, because next week is going to be fire! If Edi comes, maybe Brian, my boy, will see what it's like to have a coach who's achieved something. For now, I'm off to explain to Mioara why I lost again on bets – because supposedly "Edi's coming and CFR will win the title," but until then, I'm left with pretzels.
