Club official Alexandru Meszar has denied rumors suggesting that head coach Adrian Mihalcea threatened to resign due to delayed salary payments. The speculation emerged ahead of the team's upcoming match against Dinamo, a club to which Mihalcea holds a personal attachment. Meszar asserted that the coach, his staff and the entire squad remain fully focused on preparing for the Sunday fixture.

Reports had indicated that Mihalcea was dissatisfied with repeated promises from the leadership regarding financial obligations. ProSport noted that the coach did not attend the training session scheduled for Thursday, October 29. These absences and reported frustrations fueled suggestions that Mihalcea was on the verge of making a radical decision regarding his position.

Financial difficulties have affected the squad, with players receiving only a small portion of their August salaries despite earning bonuses for victories against Csikszereda and Sepsi. Payments were reportedly made in a differentiated manner, contributing to the unrest within the group. At a press conference preceding the Dinamo duel, Mihalcea acknowledged that the club is navigating a turbulent period.

Meszar dismissed the speculation, describing Mihalcea as a complete professional who continues his work with maximum seriousness and involvement. He stated that both the coach and the club leadership prefer not to engage with provocative questions or rumors. Meszar emphasized that while problems exist at every club, the team remains in a good sporting situation despite a high number of injured players.
