"No problem": Lucescu talks about communication with Tymoshchuk and readiness to return to Russia

The former head coach of Dynamo Kyiv and Shakhtar Donetsk, Mircea Lucescu, has admitted that he periodically communicates with Ukraine's traitor Anatoliy Tymoshchuk. In addition, the 78-year-old specialist did not rule out his return to Russia, where he is working with Zenit St. Petersburg in the 2016/17 season.

Lucescu said this in an interview with the propaganda publication Sport-Express. According to him, he is not going to end his coaching career, and is also closely following the success of his former Russian club, whose dominance in the national championship is openly ridiculed.

"I have some suggestions. I feel good! There are no problems, neither physical nor mental. A job in Russia? It's been a little while since I left the club, in a month the situation with the future will become clearer. I can say that I respect all countries. I watch Zenit, I am happy about Semak's success. Sometimes I talk to Tymoshchuk and Semak. I fondly remember the time when I coached Zenit," Lucescu said.

Earlier, the Romanian coach made an emotional statement in an interview with Russian propagandists saying "this is a lie."

As a reminder, Lucescu resigned as Dynamo's head coach after the team's defeat in a fundamental confrontation with Shakhtar Donetsk. After this fiasco, Kyiv remained in seventh place in the UPL standings, 10 points behind the leader. The Romanian took charge of Kyiv in the summer of 2020. Under his leadership, the team once won the Ukrainian league and cup.

Dynamo president Ihor Surkis has named the team's new head coach. In addition, it became known who can lead the White and Blues on a permanent basis.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, the media revealed the real reasons why Mircea Lucescu decided to stop working with Dynamo Kyiv.
