The head coach of the Romanian national team, Mircea Lucescu, commented on his decision not to retire, regardless of health problems.

For the rest of the months, the 80-year-old fakhivets trichy settled in the medicine, which called out a feeling about a possible advance in the playoff selection for the World Cup 2026. Moreover, the coach himself is likely to lose his job.

“When the doctors told me that I could continue to practice the training, I concentrated on what I needed to do for Rumania. I spoke with the federation, and they told me that they couldn’t find a way out of the situation,” said Lucescu.

Vіn is also supportive that he could sing in other circumstances, but he doesn’t want to deprive the team of the difficult moment: “I’m not in the best shape, so it would be better if I put it in the window, as if there were another option.”. Ale, I insist: I can’t sing like a boy. We have to believe in our chance to qualify."

Today, 26 February, the Romanian national team will play the playoff playoff match for the 2026 Emergency against Turecchini near Istanbul. Once Lucescu's team won, they reached the final, but they will win the bet between Slovakia and Kosovo.
