The Viitorul Sentinel
Squad28 Sep 2026
A fracture rules Miguel Muñoz out for 45 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Viitorul will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Match26 Sep 2026
A hiding for Viitorul
Beaten 1‑4 by FCSB, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Marius Cicaldau keeps Viitorul in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
The terraces28 Sep 2026
The boos come down from three sides
“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 6 of the 26 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Tempers go at Viitorul
Adrian Puscas was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The manager makes an example of Marius Cicaldau
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
Boardroom28 Sep 2026
Inquest at Viitorul
The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.
Loan watch28 Sep 2026
Nicusor Moldovan has seen enough of Dugopolje
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Viitorul, and 2 appearances in 6 say he has earned the hearing.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Cosmin Stanciu runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
In brief
- Player ratings Adrian Puscas could not find anything
