Petrolul se gândeşte serios să schimbe antrenorul, deşi Mehmet Topal i-a salvat pe ”lupi” de la retrogradare.
Surprise at Petrolul! The management's favorite comes from outside Romania after the tense season
Even though he managed to achieve his goal, Mehmet Topal will no longer continue on the technical bench. The complicated financial situation of the club, which is on the verge of insolvency, has led to new changes in the management and staff.
For next season, the team from Ploiesti is once again looking for a foreign coach. According to Observatorul Prahovean, the main option is Portuguese Ricardo Sousa, 47 years old, free of contract after parting ways with Vizela.

As a player, Sousa trained at FC Porto and had a solid career in the Portuguese first division, moving to important clubs such as Boavista, but also abroad, at Hannover 96 and Omonia Nicosia.

In coaching, he has experience mainly in the lower leagues of Portugal, with a brief spell in Saudi Arabia. His last team was Vizela, where he had a mediocre run in the second division.
There is a good chance that the coach will arrive in Romania in the coming days and participate in the team reunion scheduled for June 15. In the meantime, the club has also analyzed options from Romania, such as Robert Ilyeş, Florin Bratu and Florin Pîrvu, but the choice still seems to be going towards the external option.
