Former Dynamo Kiev coach Mircea Lucescu has confirmed that he intends to return to coaching in the summer.
"I hope to return to coaching. In the meantime, for the first time in 50 years, I have had a rest. Considering everything that unfortunately happened and is happening in Ukraine, I decided to take a break and wait until June. That's why I said no to Besiktas, who wanted me to lead the team during the season.
I am waiting for a team I can work with from the start of the new season to be able to build the game and prepare the squad I need.
I am 78 years old, but I feel a lack of enthusiasm and passion: I always go to matches to keep up to date and be ready when the right challenge comes," Tuttosport quoted Lucescu as saying.
