Lilian Popescu is no longer the coach of Sheriff. He tendered his resignation after the football team from Tiraspol scored only one victory in the last four stages of the national championship, IPN reports.
Popescu left the team on the third place in the National Division, two points away from the leading Dacia. “The place of Sheriff is at the top of the rankings. I decided to leave in order to shock the team to which I’m not indifferent,” Lilian Popescu stated for the official website of Sherriff.
In 2014, Popescu was named coach of the year after he achieved remarkable results with Veris. He earlier trained Olimpia, Nistru, Costuleni and FC Tiraspol.
