Women's handball: CSM București and Bojana Popovic have mutually agreed to end their collaboration

CSM Bucharest and coach Bojana Popović have mutually agreed to end their collaboration after the women’s handball team’s results fell below the club’s expectations this season. Iulia Curea has been appointed head coach.

The decision comes after CSM Bucharest’s 25–40 defeat to Brest in the seventh round of the Champions League. As a result, the team sits fourth in Group A, with six points.

The capital club stated that the recent results had not matched the performance objectives set for this season. Expectations were high after CSM Bucharest reached the Final Four last season.

In the Liga Florilor, the “tigresses” are in second place, behind Gloria Bistrița. Iulia Curea, who has a longstanding connection with the team and was part of the coaching staff, will take responsibility for preparing the team for domestic and European competitions. CSM Bucharest thanked Bojana Popović for her work and announced that it would support the new coaching staff.
