Lucescu to stay at Shakhtar for another 2 years

Today, at the Donbass Arena, there was a working meeting between the president of FC Shakhtar Rinat Akhmetov and the head coach Mircea Lucescu, which resulted in signing a new contract with the team coach. Rinat Akhmetov commented on this event to the club website correspondent as follows:

- When we talked about the contract, money was not in question at all. Because this is not important either for me or for Mister. I was interested in only one major thing: did this team reach their maximum or they could make a step forward? Mister replied to it simply: "I love our fans. I love our players. I believe in my assistants. I am convinced that together with the club, by joining our efforts, we are able to conquer new heights." The new contract with Mircea Lucescu has been signed for 2 years.
