Romanian football is in mourning: Mircea Lucescu, one of the most influential figures and most renowned coaches of the sport, has passed away.

Under his leadership, the Romanian national team – featuring László Bölöni – qualified for the European Championship for the first time in 1984. As a player, he was a seven-time Romanian champion, and as a coach he won the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.

Besides Romania, he worked in Italy, Turkey, Russia, and Ukraine, and in the final days of his life he once again served as Romania’s national team head coach.

May he rest in peace.
