A Romanian is the new coach of Kuwait?

I just saw it on the news (on a Romanian tv station): "Mihai Stoichita is the new coach of Kuwait" Can anyone confirm this?

Previous experience:

Champion of Romania with Steaua Bucharest
Champion of Moldova with Sheriff Tiraspol
Champion of Armenia with Pyunik Erevan (Armenian NT coach at the same time)
Coach of Panama NT

Havent heard about it yet.

It seems he will negociate today with the Kuwait FA. The other candidate is Jorgen Larsen.

I bet if Kuwait doesn't make it to the WC he will be fired even if it is not his fault. That is the mentality of football in the middle east. Blame the foreign guy instead of looking in the mirror. We need to change our mentality and fast because it is not healthy. Let's give these coaches more of a chance to prove themselves.

Well, I really hope he can take Kuwait to the WC!

couldn't agree more! In Kuwait, we need the dinosaurs in the FA to fvck off before any of the eleven (11) managers we had in the past ten years.
