Returning to the national team, “IL Luce” trained the “tricolors” in six games and achieved as many victories, achieving first place in the Nations League group.
Mircea Lucescu has reasons to smile
At the end of the year, those from the International Federation of Football History and Statistics announced the records broken by world coaches, and Mircea Lucescu was the main protagonist.
As announced by the IFFHS, the Romanian technician has set no less than 5 world records since returning to Romania’s bench.
“Mircea Lucescu and Carlo Ancelotti were the main protagonists of the year in this sense: the Romanian broke many age records in the national team“, the IFFHS noted.
The 5 records set by Mircea Lucescu:
The return after the longest period in the national team (38 years)
Longest career with a national team (player & coach)
Longest career in all national teams (player & coach)
Longest career as coach of a single national team
Longest career as a coach at the national team.
In the world preliminaries, the tricolors were thus assigned to Group H, along with Austria, Bosnia, Cyprus and San Marino.
