BUCAREST (ROMANIA) (ITALPRESS) – Mircea Lucescu was the victim of acute myocardial infarction and is admitted to intensive care at the University Hospital of Bucharest. The technician, 80 years old, “is currently undergoing specialist cardiological treatment, without new pathological elements. The patient is stable, conscious and collaborative,” he reads in the medical bulletin of the institute, but does not refer to a second heart attack of which the Romanian press reports.
Lucescu, who yesterday officially exhausted his second ct mandate from Romania, last Sunday he accused a malore during the technical meeting in view of the friendly with Slovakia, where to lead the team was then vice Ionel Gane. On Tuesday he had been set up a defibrillator and his resignation was scheduled for today as Mihai Stoichita, technical director of the Romanian Football Federation confirmed: “I am very concerned about what happened in Lucescu. Yesterday with the president we visited him, he told us he was fine, he was happy to leave today from the hospital, everything seemed fine. He was sorry to have concluded his collaboration with the Federation because of health problems and for this reason we had proposed to return to another role, it was important both for us and for him”. “From what I’ve heard from the hospital, its conditions are now stable but I’m not a doctor, I can’t say more,” Stoichita added.
According to the newspaper “GSP”, three reanimation maneuvers were needed to stabilize the former coach of Pisa, Brescia and Inter after the first infarction, and among the exams performed would also be an angiograph. Lucescu had agreed to lead Romania for the second time – after the experience between 1981 and 1986 – in August 2024, with the aim of bringing it to the next World Championships but the defeat in Turkey in the semi-final play-off will remain its last ct race.
