This may be the most famous coaching return to PlusLiga. With him, ZAKSA conquered Europe
It may turn out that the club from Bełchatów will soon return to the game for the highest goals in PlusLiga. PGE GiEK Skra intends to employ coach Gheorghe Cretu.
Bringing in a specialist from Romania may turn out to be an ideal personnel move for the club from Bełchatów. PGE GiEK Skra may return to the fight for high goals, for example in the context of a larger budget.
Gheorghe Cretu in PlusLiga? PGE GiEK Skra Bełchatów in the lead
Let us remind you that Gheorghe Cretu has a rich history in the context of work in Poland. The trainer born in Constanta worked in several clubs, starting with AZS Olsztyn (2010-11), through Cuprum Lubin (2014-17), Asseco Resovia Rzeszów (2018-19) and Grupa Azoty ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle (2021-22).
With the latter, he won the Champions League, the Polish Cup and the PlusLiga. The triple crown is something that ZAKSA’s ranks can only dream of today. However, Cretu is not only a good tactician, but also a man who can discover volleyball players for the wider world. Example? Bet on Łukasz Kaczmarek, then an absolute debutant in PlusLiga – as a receiver when the Romanian coach was in charge of Cuprum Lubin.
As it turns out, Cretu can return to Poland. Recently, the coach who trains the Slovenian national team has an offer of a two-year contract on the table. This is according to media reports, including: from an Italian specialist in this field. According to Gian Luca Pasini from “La Gazzetta dello Sport”, the Bełchatów team wants to entrust Cretu with the mission of returning to the fight for the highest goals in PlusLiga.
PlusLiga before key transfer decisions
It may turn out that volleyball players are volleyball players, but it is the coaches who will prove to be the most important in the personnel puzzle. Transferring a reliable specialist to the role of a trainer is the key to arranging the later realities of the team’s everyday life.
Interestingly, the mentioned Cretu, before the offer from Bełchatów, was also supposed to have the opportunity to return to Asseco Resovia. However, it can be assumed that the memories from Rzeszów were not very favorable, so this topic was to be dropped quite quickly.
