Although Stache paid off the club's old debts to the players, he did not become the main shareholder of FC Snagov as initially announced. After the away defeat at Dunărea Galați, Reghecampf's wife, Anamaria Prodan, became the new club president on 21 October 2009, and Cristian Țermure succeeded Mihai Stoica as the official new coach of the team.
