The Hungarian Government has made important investments in the Romanian football team Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe. This year the team has qualified in the play-off. Thus, PM Viktor Orban seems to register a hit on Romania, antena3.ro reports. He has convinced one of the best known Romanian coaches of Hungarian ethnicity to be his adviser on sports issues.

“I know him for a long time, he is a person involved and passionate by football, I couldn’t refuse him. I went to Hungary to him only once, we had a meeting, that’s all, as it is hard to travel on roads. We often talk by phone, it is the simplest way. When I was in Budapest to talk to him, there were there also some Turkish people to talk about football,” Emerich Ienei said for ‘Gazeta Sporturilor’.
