Romanian football icon Mircea Lucescu, the 80-year-old manager of Romania’s national team, lost consciousness during a morning training session and was rushed to hospital, according to Greek outlet Ta Nea. In a recent interview with The Guardian, Lucescu had spoken candidly about his health challenges but expressed his determination to stay on the job. “I cannot leave like a coward,” he said, framing his continued presence as a matter of duty to Romanian football.
