Cluj split with coach Andone

"CFR Cluj's club management and Ioan Andone have reached an agreement to end relations," the club said in a statement.

"We are proud of everything we've accomplished together. Andone has and will always have a special place in the hearts of our supporters."

"We'll announce the name of the new coach tomorrow," CFR Cluj's owner Arpad Paszkany told local media. "It's 99 percent certain that it will be a foreigner."

However, local media and fans criticised Andone for CFR's domestic performances. They are 10th in the Romanian top flight with 16 points from 12 matches, 13 points behind leaders Steaua Bucharest and only six points above the relegation zone.
