Lucescu: 1 year in numbers
He arrived after preseason training and took over a team with several newcomers. He stuck to his principles, believed in himself, weathered the stormy beginning and was vindicated as the season unfolded. Răzvan Lucescu completed his first season at the helm of the “Double-Headed Eagle” and paok.fc presents to you the stats of the Romanian coach at PAOK.
Under his guidance in the last 12 months, PAOK have played 45 encounters. To be absolutely accurate, it’s been 44 matches, since the game against Olympiakos never kicked off. The Romanian tactician has recorded 36 victories, although he is credited with only 35 of them. Fernando Varela’s perfectly legitimate goal against AEK Athens for the Super League initially stood, then was ruled out, then stood again and at the end a 3-0 victory was awarded to the team that conceded the goal.
PAOK also have played 4 draws and suffered 4 losses. His incredible winning percentage stands at 81,82% and lands him at the top of the pile, over any of his predecessors at PAOK.
In the Greek Cup, the Romanian achieved a perfect record: 10 matches, 10 victories, 1 trophy! It would have been his second title for the “Double-Headed Eagle”, had the Super League not been decided in the court rooms. He would have been the first coach in PAOK’s history to lead them to a domestic double.
Lucescu also has a perfect record at home. In 21 games in Toumba Stadium, he celebrated as many victories with his players. With him at the helm, PAOK won 16 consecutive encounters (a record) and 10 consecutive away matches (also a record).
Up until the beginning of the current season, PAOK had not won a game in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. But with the Romanian coach, the “Double-Headed Eagle” have lined up three consecutive wins (two over FC Basel and one over FC Spartak Moscow). His next aim is to become the first coach to lead PAOK to the UEFA Champions League group stage.
In Răzvan Lucescu’s 365 days at PAOK, the black-and-whites boast an impressive goal tally. They have scored 99 goals and conceded just 26.
