“I’d like to save fond memories of myself in my current team. If the deal takes place, I will work as the head coach in Trabzonspor, and then I’ll switch to the job of the team manager. By that time, Răzvan Lucescu can adopt the club”, Mircea Lusecsu said.
Răzvan Lucescu is a former goalkeeper, the current coach of Greek club Skoda Xanthi, and the son of Mircea Lucescu. In 2014, he led his team to their first Greek Cup final in their history.

Mircea Lucescu has been training Shakhtar Donetsk since 2004.
