Farul Constanța faces a transitional 2025/2026 season after the departure of key veteran players, including star striker Denis Alibec who moved to FCSB, and the exit of Gică Hagi from the coaching position. The club, now led by Ianis Zicu, will lean heavily on youth from its academy, aiming realistically for a play-off qualification despite a limited budget, as stated by club shareholder Ciprian Marica[1][2].
Recent signings like Alexandru Ișfan and Portuguese midfielder Diogo Ramalho reflect a modest transfer strategy focusing on potential rather than immediate impact[1][2][3]. This season marks a strategic shift for Farul, prioritizing long-term development over short-term success, with Marica acknowledging the difficulties ahead but expressing confidence in the academy’s talent pool[1].
The rebuild signals a crucial phase for Farul, balancing financial prudence with competitive ambitions in Romania’s Superliga, potentially shaping the club’s future identity and success.
