Also, the most experienced Romanian will advise head coach Lennon and help establish game discipline in the team
Mircea Lucescu will become vice president from the new season Rapida (Bucharest). He will also reportedly assist the head coach. Neil Lennon as a consultant.
According to club president Daniel Niculae, the 78-year-old Romanian is called upon to help establish discipline in the team, in particular, to monitor players’ compliance with the sports regime.
At Rapid, the most experienced specialist worked twice as head coach in the second half of the 90s. It was under him that the team won its second championship title in history. In addition, during his long career, Lucescu managed to coach Corvinul, the Romanian national team, Dynamo (Bucharest), Pisa, Brescia, Reggiana, Inter, Galatasaray, Besiktas, Shakhtar, Zenit, the Turkish national team and Dynamo (Kyiv).
Let us remember that some time ago information appeared that Dynamo Kiev offered its ex-coach the post of general director of the club. At the same time, Lucescu himself stated that he would decide on his future at the end of May. Previously, the specialist rejected an offer from Besiktas.
According to Romanian journalists, the coach himself is waiting for an offer from the Romanian national team, with whom he would like to work until the end of his career. In December, Mircea was also named among the candidates to become the new coach of Lyon, Romanian second division club Corvinula and Dinamo Zagreb.
At the end of the regular season, Rapid took second place in the championship, but failed in the Champions Group (four points in 10 rounds) and finished in sixth place.
