The head coach of the French club Lyon, Paulo Fonseca, known for his work with Donetsk Shakhtar, thanked Romania for its assistance to Ukraine during the fight against the armed aggression of Russia and also mentioned the Romanian coach Mircea Lucescu.
Paulo Fonseca"At the beginning of the war in Ukraine, I experienced days (at the moment of the attack by Russia on Ukraine, Fonseca was in Kyiv - ed. note) that left a mark on my life; this period will remain in my memory for the rest of my life.
And I am very grateful to the people of Romania who helped Ukraine. Personally, for me and my family, it became much easier after you welcomed us here. You were kind, thank you very much!
I was the head coach of Shakhtar after Mircea Lucescu, who did a very good job with this team. He is a great coach, a role model for many, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be the team's mentor after a coach of such caliber," said Fonseca at the pre-match press conference in Bucharest a day before today's match between Lyon and the local Steaua.
