Guangzhou R&F wants Contra

GETAFE has urged its Romanian coach Cosmin Contra to accept Chinese side Guangzhou R&F’s job offer and help the La Liga club to raise funds.

“I’m the only one at Getafe who has an offer, they want to sell me in China,” Contra, 39, who took over at the Madrid club in March, told local media. “They suggested I should help the club.

“I know the problems and I would do that for the club which is going through some pretty bad financial times.”

Guangzhou R&F finished third in this year’s Chinese Super League to qualify for next year’s Asian Champions League second preliminary round.

The manager’s job at the club became vacant after much-travelled Swede Sven-Goran Eriksson quit last month.

“They (Guangzhou R&F) are offering me a salary, which is five times bigger than the one I have at Getafe,” said former Romania international Contra.

Getafe is 13th in La Liga on 16 points, five points above the relegation zone.
