The death of Mircea Lucescu has rocked the football world with one of the most respected and long-serving managers of the game dying at the age of 80. His premature demise was only a few days after he relinquished the head coach position of the Romania national team, a very emotional culmination of an extraordinary career. It is even reported that Lucescu had become ill just prior to a training period, and this at once caused some apprehension as to his health. His condition deteriorated very quickly and he was hospitalized where he allegedly had a heart attack.

The events have come out at the right time and fans and analysts have been left wondering how such a situation has developed at such a pace. The symbolism of his recent resignation adds to the gravity of this moment. It was assumed by many that it was a normal procedure because of health reasons. But it now seems that Lucescu might have detected something more, and opted to retire quietly instead of taking his plight into the public eye. Lucescu’s legacy goes far beyond his final days.

He was reputed to be tactically smart and a team builder in times of crisis. His career, which lasted decades, impacted several generations of players and coaches. He was still a dedicated person in determining the future of the national side even in his last role with Romania. It is not only a coach that the football fraternity is grieving about, but also a symbol of sturdiness and permanence in the sport. Clubs, players and federations all over the world are expected to give tributes in memory of a man who sacrificed his life to football.
