Florin Prunea has confirmed that Florin Răducioiu will not return to Dinamo, stating that the wound from past events remains open for both the former striker and the supporters. Prunea expressed conviction that the potential move would not materialize, noting that Răducioiu did not attend the recent match against UTA, which Dinamo won 2-0 in the 14th round.

The decision marks a reversal from earlier indications that Răducioiu was close to rejoining the club. He had recently appeared in the stands during a 5-2 victory over Chindia Târgoviște, where shareholder Andrei Nicolescu later confirmed interest in appointing him to a leadership position aimed at linking the first team with the academy. However, Prunea indicated that discussions had since failed.

Răducioiu previously served as team manager in 2022 but departed immediately after the club suffered relegation to the second division. Prunea suggested that the timing was inappropriate then and that the negative experiences from that period have not healed. He directed further inquiries to Nicolescu, who handled direct discussions with Răducioiu.

Prior to this development, head coach Nuno Campos had publicly welcomed the idea of Răducioiu's involvement. During a press conference before the UTA match, Campos stated that the club's doors were open to anyone willing to help, praising the historical significance of having many useful people associated with the organization.
