“Neil Lennon Out at Rapid Bucharest: Marius Sumudica Makes Triumphant Return”
Neil Lennon has been dismissed by Rapid Bucharest after only six games at the helm. The former Celtic manager, who took charge in May after leaving Omonia Nicosia, faced mounting pressure due to a poor start to the season. His team was the only one in the Romanian top flight yet to secure a win.
Following a 1-1 draw with Dinamo, extending his winless streak to six games, the club decided to part ways with Lennon. A statement from the club noted that Lennon, along with his staff, including Iain Brunskill, Andrew Liddell, and Kyirakos Televantos, would be leaving. The club expressed gratitude for his efforts and wished him success in the future.
Rapid Bucharest swiftly appointed former manager Marius Sumudica as his replacement. Sumudica expressed his joy at returning to the club, saying, “My dream came true! I really wanted to come back to Giulesti, my home. I feel indebted to the team and am committed to improving our situation. I hope to lead Rapid to success, as I have in the past.”
