An hour and a half before Romania – San MarinoDani Coman (46 years old), the president of the FC Argeshad a telephone intervention in which he spoke about the situation of Mircea Lucescu (80 years old) in the national team.

  • Romania – San Marino is played tonight, from 21:45, in Ploiesti, at the “Ilie Oană” stadium. The match will be liveTEXT on GSP.ro and televised by Antena 1, with real-time information from Gazeta Sporturilor reporters present on the spot.

In his view Dani Coman, Mircea Lucescu will announce his resignation immediately after the end of the game. The reason? Disappointing run from this 2026 World Cup qualification group.

Regardless of tonight's result, Romania finished 3rd in Group H, behind Austria and Bosnia. They lost miserably in Bosnia on Saturday, 1-3, and are now thinking about the play-off in March.

Asked about the opponent he would like in the play-off, Dani Coman surprised and nominated Italy, the national team that finished 2nd in a group won by Norway.

“I don't think that Mircea Lucescu will continue. I don't have any information, I haven't talked with anyone from his staff, with him, but I think so, that he won't continue after the match tonight.

I didn't like what I saw in Bosnia and I don't mince words. With Italy I would like us to fail. After the match I saw with Norway yes, I would like to play Italy. The second half they played like us in Bosnia”, said Dani Coman, on “Fotbal Club”, from Digi Sport.

It remains to be seen what decision Mircea Lucescu will make. In the press conference preceding the duel with San Marino, the selector was disturbed by the questions he received regarding a possible resignation.

I want to set things straight. Since I came, I've been asked when I'm resigning. Did I say I'm not sure I'm staying?

I said I didn't want to talk about it. We'll see what happens.
