GSP presents you what Gigi Becali and Marius Lăcătuş discussed on the phone: the first asked to give up willingly and the second accepted, but he asked the salary he
Lăcătuş is not anymore the coach of Steaua. The separation took place last night, around 07:00 p.m. The meeting was postponed several times yesterday because the sponsor of the team was not in Bucharest, he was in the election campaign, and the "Beast" spent the Sunday with his family, refusing to answer at the journalists’ callings.
He asked Lăcă to announce his retire, but he didn’t want
Actually, Lăcătuş and Becali agreed yesterday to put an end to their collaboration. Actually, the discussion they had on the phone before they met face to face was decisive. The sponsor asked the coach to organize a press release where to announce that he retires. Lăcătuş didn’t agree. "I prefer to make an agreement with you, why shall I make a press release? Some people would say that I humbled myself again!", said Lăcătuş.
"I don’t want the money on the clause, I want my salary"
Becali continued to transmit him that he doesn’t want him anymore as the main coach. The coach accepted to leave, but he imposed a condition to the person who decides in Ghencea. "I want my salary. There are more than two months since I haven’t received my salary and I think I have the right to receive it. I don’t want the cancellation clause, I am not interested in another money", said Lăcătuş, who has to receive almost 50.000 euro, only from his contract of 250.000 euro per year.
"Let’s have an appointment because I won’t come to the trainings!"
Last night, at 06:00, Lăcătuş announced Becali: "We must have a meeting right away because I won’t come to the team". The two had an appointment and they discussed for 50-60 minutes. At 07:00 p.m., Becali announced his subalterns from the club that Lăcătuş won’t be the coach of Steaua anymore. "Please announce Pedrazzini that he will be ad interim in the last 3 laps", was the final order given by the sponsor.
"There won’t be any financial problem between Steaua and Lăcătuş. He still has to receive some money from the salary, we’ll see what is the difference he has to receive, and Monday at noon he will have the amount in the account"
