Turkey appoints Mircea Lucescu as new national football team coach

The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has reportedly agreed on appointing Romanian coach Mircea Lucescu as the next coach of Turkish national football team.

After Şenol Güneş and Abdullah Avcı both declined the offer to coach the Turkish national side, all eyes had turned towards Romanian coach Mircea Lucescu.

The Romanian coach has proven track records for Galatasaray, Beşiktaş and Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk.

After managing local clubs and the Romanian national team, Lucescu pursued his coaching career in Italy for almost a decade where he coached clubs including Pisa, Brescia, Reggiana and Inter Milan.

He took the helm in Galatasaray in 2000 and won the UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid. Under Lucescu, the lions played UEFA Champions League quarter finals in the 2000-01 season where they lost to Real Madrid. The next year, Galatasaray won the Super League title and was knocked out in the second round of the Champions League. However, he was sacked at the end of the season and was replaced by Fatih Terim.

Shortly after his departure from Galatasaray, he signed a contract with rivals Beşiktaş in June 2002. The next season started off well but after a disastrous second half, Lucescu decided to leave Turkey. In 2004, he joined Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk and led their rise to prominence in the country and in European football.

You don't have any good football team coaches. No kidding.

What about a German coach. As we known, half of teams are Turkish-Germans. There would not be any language problems.

Anyhing is better then Fatih Terim really. I am just glad he is gone, he always becomes to personally involved which is why a lot of players left or were never invited to play.
