Razvan Lutsescu set to become head coach of Al Sadd after PAOK exit

Romanian coach Razvan Lutsescu, 55, ended his tenure with Greek club PAOK, receiving farewell messages from club officials and former teammates. Following his departure, he entered advanced negotiations with Qatar’s Al Sadd. Reports indicate the offer is worth about $4 million a year, excluding performance bonuses, with the club proposing a two‑year deal while Lutsescu seeks a three‑year contract. If finalized, he will replace Roberto Mansini as Al Sadd’s head coach.

The move marks Lutsescu’s next step after his recent spell at PAOK, where he was praised for his contributions to the team and described as a lifelong friend by the club’s vice‑president.
