Former Champions League manager's football coach son abandons his team's derby to rush to his father's bedside as he 'has just days' to live and is in a coma after heart attack
Iconic football manager Mircea Lucescu's condition is getting worse with the 80-year-old placed into an induced coma following a heart attack, with his son abandoning his side's derby match to be by his side. On Friday, a statement from the University Hospital in Bucharest said he was 'stable,' but reports in Romania say he now could only have days to live. Mihai Stoichita, who works as a technical director of the Romania team, visited him in hospital and said he was unable to speak to his now-former colleague. He must have days, that's important, nothing else. May God grant that he will be well, that he will live, that he will continue to be with us.
