"No problems": Lucescu talked about his communication with Tymoshchuk and his willingness to return to Russia

Former head coach of Dynamo Kyiv and Shakhtar Donetsk, Mircea Lucescu, admitted that he occasionally communicates with the former Ukrainian footballer Anatoliy Tymoshchuk. Additionally, the 78-year-old coach did not rule out a return to Russia, where he worked with Zenit St. Petersburg during the 2016/17 season.

Lucescu made these statements in an interview with the sports publication Sport-Express. He mentioned that he has no intentions of ending his coaching career and is closely following the success of his former Russian club, even if their dominance in the national championship is often criticized.

Lucescu said, "I have some offers. I'm feeling well! I have no problems, neither physical nor mental. As to a job in Russia, it's been some time since I left the club, and  the situation regarding my future will become clearer in a month,. I can say that I respect all countries. I keep an eye on Zenit, and I'm pleased with Sergey Semak's success. I occasionally have conversations with Tymoshchuk and Semak. I have fond memories of the time when I coached Zenit."

Earlier, the Romanian coach made an emotional statement in an interview with Russian media, calling certain statements "lies."

As a reminder, Lucescu resigned as the head coach of Dynamo after the team's defeat in a crucial match against Shakhtar Donetsk. Following this setback, Kyiv remained in seventh place in the Ukrainian Premier League standings, 10 points behind the league leader. Lucescu took charge of Kyiv in the summer of 2020. Under his leadership, the team won the Ukrainian league and cup once.

Dynamo's president, Ihor Surkis, has announced the appointment of the new head coach for the team. Additionally, it has been revealed who might lead the White and Blues on a permanent basis.
