The newly promoted Saxan decided to part from three players. The coach of the Gagauz team Vladimir Liutyi stated for the team’s official website that Alexandru Popovici, Ion Demerji and Dumitru Bacal disappointed him in the match played in Balti.

“The team’s manager phoned us and told us not to come to training. We are very surprised at such a decision,” halfback Ion Demerji has told IPN.

Alexandru Popovici is one of the two Moldovans who played in the Bundesliga of Germany. In the 1997-1998 season, he played four matches for MSV Duisburg. The current coach of the national football team of Moldova Alexandru Curteian also played in the Bundesliga.

This weekend Saxan meets at home Zimbru. The other encounters of the 16th stage are: Milsami - Sheriff, Dacia – Zaria, and FC Tiraspol - Academia.
