Steaua owner Gigi Becali fired Yuksel Yesilova on Saturday saying he brought back luck to Steaua because of his religion.
Becali said: "Steaua is a Christian team and we had bad luck because of him. I don’t want to see him here. We can't keep a Muslim in a team that has a cross on its team bus and shirts."
Yesilova said Friday he had been called by FIFA officials about his firing. His contract expired in 2010.
