Romanian Răzvan Lucescu appointed head coach of Qatari team Al-Sadd

Romania’s Răzvan Lucescu went to Qatar on Sunday, July 5, and signed with the Al-Sadd team to serve as head coach, replacing Roberto Mancini, who recently resigned.

Răzvan Lucescu, the son of famed coach Mircea Lucescu, who died earlier this year, left the Greek team PAOK and began negotiations with Al-Sadd and Al-Ittihad (Saudi Arabia). The former eventually signed him for two years, with a reported net salary of EUR 3.5 million per season.
