Former Dynamo Kyiv head coach Mircea Lucescu commented on the information that he allegedly agreed to take charge of the Romanian national team.
"Who says that Mircea Lucescu is already the coach of Romania is exaggerating. It is true that over the last few days I have had several contacts related to this option to continue my career, but I need to analyze everything very carefully before giving a final answer. I want to collect as much important data as possible.
Yes, I have said several times that I am no longer interested in returning to the Romanian national team. But this is a special situation. Iordanescu left the national team after Euro 2024, Hadji refused to become his successor, and there is very little time left until the next matches of the national team. There are also few candidates for the post of head coach. This is also one of the reasons why I am now in a state of serious analysis of the proposal of the Romanian Football Federation.
But I repeat and emphasize to make it clear to everyone: I have not made a decision, I am still thinking, I have not given anyone any answer. I want to be very sure of everything when I give an answer to the Federation, because if I agree to lead the Romanian national team, but do not bring it to the World Cup-2026, no one will forgive me, although I am not a magician," - quotes Lucescu Gazeta Sporturilor.
