FC Argeș reportedly considers replacing coach Bogdan Andone amid winless run

Officials at FC Argeș are reportedly considering parting ways with head coach Bogdan Andone as patience within the club's leadership appears to be wearing thin. According to sources cited by iAMsport.ro, the administration is weighing a separation from the technician following a prolonged period of poor results in the SuperLiga. The club has already initiated a search for potential replacements for the current manager, signaling that a decision regarding his future may be imminent.

The primary catalyst for this potential change is a significant drop in form. FC Argeș has not secured a victory in the league since August, when they defeated Universitatea Craiova 1-0 in round four thanks to a goal by Yanis Pîrvu. Since that result, the squad led by Andone has suffered seven defeats and recorded three draws. This winless streak has left the team in 13th place in the standings with only 12 points, a stark contrast to expectations set by previous campaigns.

Pressure on the coaching staff has intensified ahead of the upcoming fixture. Reports indicate that a loss against Dinamo in the final match scheduled before the international break could prove decisive for Andone’s tenure. The dissatisfaction extends beyond the sporting directorate; Pitești Mayor Cristian Gentea has publicly expressed unhappiness with the team's underperformance this season and has issued warnings directly to the players. This political and administrative scrutiny adds weight to the ultimatum reportedly given to the technical staff.

The current crisis stands in sharp relief to Andone’s earlier success at the club. Appointed in September 2024 while FC Argeș was still in Liga 2, he guided the team to promotion and subsequently achieved a sixth-place finish in the SuperLiga play-offs last season. During the summer transfer window, Andone had stated he rejected significant offers from abroad, including an approach from a former champion in Cyprus aiming for Champions League qualification, to remain committed to the project in Pitești. Despite these past achievements and declared loyalty, the current winless run has placed his position in serious jeopardy.
