Politehnica Timisoara presented today its main sponsors and some of the partners who joined the club since the beginning of this season. On this occasion was also formalized the collaboration with Mr. Cristinel Irinoiu, the new marketing director of the club and also partner and sponsor through the company Kiki & Iri. Simon Pescari, President of the Board of Directors of the club and Sorin Brîndescu, Executive Director of Politehnica Timisoara, also attended the press conference organized in the Politehnica Timisoara University Library.

“We thought it was good to present some information about the club, about what we want to do next. Especially because, as you know, since the summer we have had a series of changes, in terms of staff, club management and, moreover, we wanted to offer Timisoara and Timis the opportunity to get involved in this club. Precisely in order to grow together, to promote the youth in Timisoara and Timis. With this in mind, we have also made a number of changes in terms of the club’s approach. A first step is to bring in a marketing director, who will be in charge of relations with the business environment in Banat. To deal with the image, with the promotion of the club and at the same time to promote the youth in Banat. The person in charge is my colleague Cristinel Irinoiu, who is also involved in the business environment, especially in Timișș and Timișoara, and who is also a partner. Initially he came as a partner of the club and has so far managed to bring a number of important partners for our club,” said Simon Pescari, President of the Board of Directors of SSU Politehnica Timisoara.

“First of all, the company I represent is Kiki & Iri, it is on the back of the jersey. On the front of the jersey is the main sponsor, it is Superbet, on this occasion we managed to have a first league sponsor and we thank Superbet on this occasion. We also managed to sign a new partnership with the company Egeria, from the building materials market, with ProManucom, also from the building materials market, Gerald Gress-Premium, the most important distributor of tiles and faience, also on this market. We also managed to bring in partners from another business environment, namely Napoleon pizzeria and Tucano café. And then we continued the partnership with the sponsors Mewi – the national leader in agricultural machinery, with the company Apuseana – the company that provides us with water at every match, STPT. And, this morning, we found out that we have another new sponsor – Profidemo, we are going to sign the contract in the coming days. I want to bring as many businessmen and as many companies as possible. Especially those that operate in Timis and Timisoara. And it would be good for the Poli club to have as many companies as possible from the city and, at the same time, for the supporters, through the different packages that we will promote, to help the club financially a little bit, we’ll see what can be done. These are my objectives. I do this job voluntarily and at the same time I am also a sponsor”, said Cristinel Irinoiu, the new marketing director of Politehnicii Timisoara.

“The team with which we have started to rebuild the club since the summer is a team that is passionate about football and wants to perform. Although we know very well that a football club is also a business. Besides that business you have to do things with heart. Another person who is very involved and who is helping us in this construction is our colleague Sorin Brindescu, who has accepted to come back to the Poli club, as executive director this time, so that we can get involved together, to build the club as we want, with passion”, added Simon Pescari, who is also UPT pro-rector.

“From my new position. It’s clear that things are much more complex. I’ve been through all stages of football, I’ve been a player, a coach and now I’m a manager. From one stage to another, in terms of complexity, things are much more difficult. It’s a new challenge, as a manager, after all, the management of a club is very important and has many components, aspects, which we are trying to solve. Today we are after a defeat of the big team and everybody: Why did we concede a goal in the 93rd minute, why did we lose a game! And defeat is part of this sporting game, this competition. But we look at things much wider and in perspective, what can we do to develop this club. Of course everything depends on the financial side. That’s why the first thing is to balance our finances and find the resources to develop. Also, a big challenge of everything is the sports infrastructure, which we are looking at, how we can improve it. You probably know, the Adrian Stoicov base is given to CNI, but we managed to reactivate a field there for our club. It’s a challenge that Dan Paltinisanu, our home, where we train every day, will be demolished, and automatically we will have some shortcomings in terms of training ground, changing rooms, infrastructure for rebuilding after games. We are also trying to find solutions here (…)”, said Sorin Brîndescu, the executive director of the “alb-violets”.
