It was originally announced that Claudius would only serve on an interim basis for the remainder of the season with a full interview process planned for the offseason. At the time of the hire, fans had been calling for manager Flavius Blaesus to be fired, though Claudius instead replaced Vitalius Heius as director of football and assumed the duties himself. At the next transfer window, Castellum initiated a £23 million bid for 19 year old Hellene football star, Nikeforos Zenon (now known as Zeno).
