The former head coach of Shakhtar and Dynamo, and now the coach of the Romanian national team, Mircea Lucescu, commented on the information about his state of health.

The words of the 80-year-old expert are cited by the Romanian Football Federation. Lucescu emphasized that he is feeling well and urged the fans not to worry.

“I’m fine, there’s no reason to worry. I ask you to stay calm, the situation is greatly exaggerated. It’s just a treatment that I’m undergoing under supervision,” Lucescu said.

We will remind, at the end of January, the Romanian coach was urgently hospitalized due to heart rhythm problems. Doctors diagnosed an arrhythmia, and later Lucescu’s condition worsened due to flu and high fever.

Later, the specialist was discharged from the hospital, but he continued to be under medical supervision.

It should be noted that on March 26, 2026, the Romanian national team under the leadership of Mircea Lucescu will play the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against the Turkish team.
