Romania overcame Bosnia-Herzegovina (4:1), but the victory did not save the tricolor team from relegation to Division C of the League of Nations. The resignations of coach Edi Iordenescu have been demanded by several former Romanian players, and Mircea Lucescu had a clear answer when asked if he needed some fresh air in the first team bench.

Edi Yordenescu does not yet know whether he will remain on the bench of the national team: “I will hold a discussion with the leadership of the FRF

Mircea Lucescu says Edi Iordenescu should stay on as coach: should another start over?

Mircea Lucescu, who was present at the match in Giulesti, talked about the most pressing topic of the first national team. The Dynamo Kyiv technician says that Edi Yordenescu should remain as a selector.

“Too late in this group, too late I took courage in the group. Before the score was 1:0, it was clear that the team needed a goal. Bosnians dominated quite categorically. After the goal there was confidence, they created moments.

Although it is not such an important competition, it is used by all teams for young players and to form a competitive team for the European or World Championships.

Yes, of course (no – Edi Yordenescu should remain the selector), so what should he do, let someone else start over?

This is a good result, even if the Bosnians were already group winners. Maybe it wasn’t so important (without a win), but first of all, the national team needs a result” – Mircea Lucescuat the end of the match against Bosnia-Herzegovina, gsp.ro cites.
