BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania great Gheorghe "Gica" Hagi has stepped aside as manager of his own club Viitorul Constanta on Sunday following a poor run of performances.

Hagi said in a statement that "together with the president of the club we will have to find a new manager in the next days". Viitorul failed to qualify for the playoffs between the top six teams in the domestic league.
