Surprise Announcement from Greece: Răzvan Lucescu Could Leave PAOK in Coming Days

The future of Romanian coach Răzvan Lucescu at Greek football club PAOK is shrouded in increasing uncertainty, with local media reporting a potential separation in the coming days. This development comes as a surprise, given Lucescu's recent statements expressing his desire to continue his tenure in Thessaloniki and fulfill his contract, which runs until next summer.

According to Greek publications, the club's management is seriously evaluating the possibility of parting ways with the Romanian manager before the start of the new season. Sources indicate that a split between Lucescu and PAOK is currently the most likely scenario. The situation is particularly unexpected as Lucescu had recently affirmed his commitment to the PAOK project, while leaving the final decision to club owner Ivan Savvidis and the board.

Decisive discussions are anticipated in the near future, with Greek sources suggesting that the next 24 hours could bring clarity to the situation. "The departure scenario is the most probable, and it remains to be seen how the separation will occur once it is confirmed!" reported Metroport.

In the event of Lucescu's departure, PAOK owner Ivan Savvidis reportedly has a backup option in mind. Greek media suggest that Spanish coach Juan Carlos Carcedo is among the favorites to take over the team. Carcedo is currently under contract with Spartak Moscow until 2028, and his appointment would likely involve the payment of a financial release clause.
