Mircea Lucescu Date of birth: 29 July 1945 Nationality: Romanian Playing career: Dinamo Bucureşti (twice), Sportul Studenţesc Bucureşti (loan), Corvinul Hunedoara Coaching career: Corvinul Hunedoara, Romania, Dinamo Bucureşti, Pisa, Brescia, Reggiana, Rapid Bucureşti (twice), Internazionale Milano, Galatasaray, Beşiktaş, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit, Turkey • A useful striker for Dinamo in the 1960s and 1970s, winning six league titles and 70 caps for Romania as well as captaining his country at the 1970 FIFA World Cup, Lucescu became Corvinul player-coach in his early 30s and, after five years as Romania national team coach, went on to win the 1989/90 Romanian league and cup double with Dinamo. • Fluent in six foreign languages and regarded as a workaholic, he cemented his reputation at Pisa, Brescia and Reggiana before returning home to coach Rapid, winning the cup in 1997/98 and the league in 1998/99 either side of a short spell back in Italy with Inter. • After joining Galatasaray in 2000 he lifted the UEFA Super Cup in his first game as coach and took them to the Turkish title in 2001/02 – a feat he repeated with Beşiktaş in 2002/03, their centenary season. • Left Beşiktaş in 2004 and promptly joined Shakhtar, leading the Donetsk club to titles in 2005, 2006 and 2008, when his side also won the Ukrainian Cup. In May 2009, Lucescu's Shakhtar became the first Ukrainian club to win the UEFA Cup. He suffered a heart attack that summer but swiftly returned to work, guiding the club to another league title at the end of the season and winning the domestic double in 2010/11, when Shakhtar also reached the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. • More success followed, Lucescu's team completing a hat-trick of domestic doubles in 2012/13 and making it five league titles in a row the following year. Lucescu stepped down in 2016 after 12 years in charge having won a sixth Ukrainian Cup to go with his eight league titles and, after a year at Zenit, succeeded Fatih Terim as Turkey coach in August 2017. 5 Sweden - Turkey Monday 10 September 2018 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Friends Arena, Solna Match officials Referee Jesús Gil Manzano (ESP) Assistant referees Angel Nevado Rodriguez (ESP) , Juan Yuste (ESP) Additional assistant referees Carlos Del Cerro (ESP) , Ricardo De Burgos (ESP) Fourth official Iñigo Prieto López De Cerain (ESP) UEFA Delegate Peadar Ryan (IRL) Referee Name Date of birth UEFA matches Jesús Gil Manzano 04/02/1984 0 27 UEFA Nations League matches between the two teams No such matches refereed Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 18/11/2014 FRIE.
