According to the source, the 78-year-old specialist will become the vice-president of this club and in doing so will act in a sense as a consultant to the team's new head coach Neil Lennon, who was officially presented in his position yesterday.

"I would like to thank Mircea Lucescu in particular. We have received a number of assessments and recommendations from him and we will develop the club's infrastructure based on this," said Rapid president Daniel Niculae during the press conference at which Lennon was introduced to the public, but he did not say anything about Lucescu's appointment (there are also no reports from Rapid about the start of co-operation with this specialist).
