Mircea Lucescu continues to be on the football field every day as the coach of Dynamo Kyiv, despite his advanced age. Having reached the age of 77, the Romanian technician talked about the moment when he would say “stop” in his career.

Mircea Lucescu can sign a contract with Fenerbahce.

The famous magazine FourFourTwo included Mircea Lucescu in the list of the best managers who did not win the Champions League, and the Romanian technician is in a better position than Antonio Conte or Didier Deschamps (winner of the World Cup with France 2018).

Although Ukraine is at full loggerheads with Russia, Romania’s most decorated coach has explained the reasons why he stayed in Kyiv despite having other options.

“The sirens will still be on. And today they called 2 times during training and after. Of course, in the west of the country, by no means, we in Kyiv are closer to the border with Russia and there are still fears that when something moves, the siren immediately gives a signal.

You might be wondering why I’m still here? I have never been a coward and I am not now, even when things are extremely difficult.

With this situation, I could go to “Fenerbach” in the summer. Dynamo Kyiv invited me then, 2 years ago, when I decided to leave, they convinced me, I came, I achieved success, 3 titles in one year, after which came this madness, this misfortune of war, and then everything changed completely.

I stayed, I can’t do without football. But I don’t know how long I’ll stay because there comes a point when I have to say it’s over. Of course, I also think about this moment, I didn’t take it into account until now, because I see that it’s very difficult, you don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, you don’t know what’s going on, and then it’s difficult.

A coach who is used to success and all that suffers twice as much as someone who is used to something else. It’s very difficult when you’ve fought all your life to win and then you accept an abnormal situation because it’s an abnormal situation where you can no longer talk about the coach.

First of all, you only think about what is happening, about those who are suffering, I think about my players, it is difficult to bring them to a level of mental involvement because they have other problems related to family, friends, it is not easy “, Mircea Lucescu told Sport Total FM.
