Răzvan Lucescu (born February 17, 1969 in Bucharest ) is a former Romanian football goalkeeper and current coach . He is the son of the former soccer player and today's coach Mircea Lucescu .

Player career

Lucescu began his career as a goalkeeper in his hometown with Sportul Studențesc . There he made his debut on June 19, 1988 in the game against AS Armata Târgu Mureş in Divizia A , but could not advance to the goalkeeper in the following years. To escape the hype around his person, which was founded in Romania by his famous father, he moved to Italy in 1992, where his father was active as a coach. In the first half of the 1992/93 season he played for SS Nola 1925 in Serie C1 , in the second half of the season for AC Cremo, before returning to his home club Sportul Studențesc in Romania. There he was finally able to establish himself and was in goal in all of his team's games in the 1994/95 and 1995/96 seasons . In 1996 he moved to FC Național Bucharest for a year , with whom he was Romanian runner-up in 1997. In the following season 1997/98 he played again for Sportul Studențesc, but could not prevent relegation to Divizia B. Lucescu then returned to FC Național Bucharest for two more years, but was often on the bench there. Therefore, he decided to switch to the second half of 1999/2000 to the promoted FC Brașov , (German: Kronstadt). There he helped prevent relegation to Divizia B before returning to the capital, this time to Rapid Bucharest . His father had just left the club as a coach and Lucescu played the following season as a goalkeeper. In 2001 he moved to the province again for a year, but only made ten season games at FCM Bacau . In his last season as an active player, in 2002/03 , he was in the first half of the season one and last time at Rapid Bucharest between the posts and thus won the only championship title of his career.

Coaching career

Lucescu took over the position of vice president at Rapid Bucharest shortly after his last league game, a role in which he contributed significantly more to the victory in the championship. During the winter break of 2003/04 , he succeeded Marius Lăcătuș as head coach of his former club, FC Brașov , before returning to Rapid Bucharest as a coach in July 2004. Since he did not have the necessary coaching license, Lucescu was initially run as assistant coach by Dan Apolzan at Rapid. He led this club into the UEFA Cup three times in a row and won the Romanian Cup twice with it . A day after the last successful cup final, Lucescu returned on May 27, 2007 again as a coach to FC Brașov, which he led back to League 1 a year later. On April 29, 2009, he was introduced by the Romanian Football Association as the coach of the national team , but ended the current season as a club coach. One day after the 3-0 home win against Bosnia and Herzegovina , Lucescu resigned on June 4, 2011 with immediate effect from his position as national coach. On June 11, 2011 he signed a two-year contract as head coach at his former club Rapid Bucharest. After the end of the 2011/12 season, he moved to Al-Jaish in the Qatar Stars League . With the club he won the Qatari Stars Cup in the 2012/13 season and took part in the 2013 AFC Champions League . After five defeats in a row, Lucescu was fired from Al-Jaish in January 2014. On March 11, 2014 he was introduced as the new coach of the Romanian first division club Petrolul Ploieşti . He led his new club into the Europa League at the end of the 2013/14 season . In September 2014 he left Petrolul and took over the Greek first division club Skoda Xanthi . In May 2017 he left Skoda Xanthi after three years and switched to PAOK Thessaloniki .
