That option became a no-holds-barred option a month ago from the day it was decided on Lucescu's future at the club. It is crucial for the Romanian, given his state of health, to refrain as much as possible from travelling long distances, especially with the option of staying at home for an extended period of time. Lucescu personally negotiated with the president of Rapid, Niculae, the delay was due to a simple reason - Rapid were fighting until the last round with Universitatea and Cluj for the 4th European Cup place, losing it in the end.
As an alternative, "Zimbru" stadium in Chisinau was considered, but it fell away because majority of Moldovan European cup teams decided to play their LC qualifying matches there.
At the same time with the choice of Bucharest, we also expect that DK will change its location for a number of UPL home games in the summer and autumn. Odessa", - the statement reads.
