Florin Maxim release clause tripled to €300,000 amid FCSB speculation

Corvinul Hunedoara head coach Florin Maxim has seen his contractual release clause tripled from €100,000 to €300,000, according to his agent Bogdan Apostu. The adjustment was made without any corresponding increase in Maxim’s salary. Apostu explained that the coach accepted the modified terms out of respect for the club and based on their strong existing relationship, despite the contract itself not being extended beyond its current expiration in 2029.

The contractual update comes amidst speculation linking Maxim to FCSB, but Apostu stated that such a move is unlikely. The agent asserted that Maxim would not accept a position where decisions are imposed upon him, citing the specific context at FCSB as incompatible with the coach's professional approach. Apostu emphasized that Maxim is not the type of person to tolerate external interference in his work.

Apostu described Maxim as potentially the most promising coach in Romanian football, pointing to his tangible record at Corvinul Hunedoara. In recent years, Maxim has secured two promotions to the first league and won the Cupa României with the team. These achievements have established him as a significant figure among the new generation of Romanian coaches.

On the pitch, Corvinul Hunedoara recently recorded a victory against FCSB. Following the match, the team celebrated with a simple meal rather than an elaborate party, with Apostu joking that the club has become accustomed to significant wins. Maxim subsequently granted his players time off until Wednesday to allow them to return home quickly.
