The Razvan Lucescu, as I wrote before, I don't know if he is the best coach to ever go through Greece. But the best person to fit into this team, to act and lead in this way PAOK In absolute glory. main; He did it by going his own way, freeing himself from old grudges.
The Romanian is a great “man manager”, he is… a mother in psychology. Above all, he was uncompromising. He doesn't have to compromise with any leader and any sports director, he doesn't take into account newspapers, websites or business gels. He was blamed and ridiculed for this Saw an opposing team send him off the court (Panathinaikos). In an unprecedented move days ago, this is rarely seen in the football industry.
His second pass Lucescu “Black and white” “healed” all the wounds that opened it from the bench. Summer of 2019, after winning the double. Neither side could find a protocol of communication, a general suggestion of how to manage the big hit, from hugs and kisses to his departure. Lucescu After that it took two years to come to the middle, two main people, Oh Makis Gagatsis And Kiriakos Kiriakos, to restore their relations. The latter in the company Maria Goncharova traveled up to Bucharest Extract his signature and bring him back Hellas And this PAOK.
This time the three executives of “Dikephalos” will not have to go that far, they will be in their natural place, in the offices of the “black and white” PAE, where the Romanian coach will sign a new contract in a few hours. , which will automatically rank him First place on the club's all-time list And would put aside any conversation About… “The Last Dance” We all did one night together Technically her Netherlands when Summer product.
Everything seemed “black and cobwebs” at the time. He knows that Lucescu. He knew he would have to live with the doubt until the team was back on their feet groups of Conference League And let everything go its way. As soon as transfers started coming in, albeit late, he decided to go against his convictions and open the cycle, six months later, at the end of August, a decision he felt fully justified in and has defended to this day.
In that critical period, the 55-year-old coach – eight days from today – has not lost his mind, he works hard and sees success in uniting his players (everything here, even the smallest, daily life in the team plays an important role ) they belong to a big club. In this direction, therefore, his presence and intelligence are important LucescuWho knows success can only be achieved through hard work.
