Summary

During the team's inaugural competitive match of the season against Oțelul Galați, coach Bogdan Andone was issued a red card following his vigorous objection to the assistant referee and verbal altercation with the main referee due to their "refusal" to award his players a free kick on the fringe of the opposing team's penalty area. As a form of discipline, he received a fine and was suspended for four matches. Subsequently, the coach expressed remorse for his actions.^[3]
