After six winless matches on Rapid’s bench in the new Superliga season, Neil Lennon (53 years old), the team’s coach, was asked if he will resign.
At the end of the Rapid – Dinamo 1-1 match, from the sixth round of the Superliga, Neil Lennon was asked if he will resign and leave the team, after not winning any match since the current championship season started.
The coach blamed bad luck for the results obtained so far and was firm about resigning. "It will not happen," said Neil Lennon, among other things. The Northern Irishman drew conclusions after the match with Dinamo.
"I don't understand the questions!? We needed a second goal. The penalty for Dinamo was given very easily. The players gave everything. (Ed. Is it shameful to be the only team without a victory?) If you look at the matches... the words are harsh. Are you trying to find answers or what? We had to make it 2-0 and close the game. We only concede goals with VAR.
That's what happened last round. It's not like we didn't create chances. We started the match with 3 young players and ended with 4.
I don't understand the context of these questions. I prepared the match with Rrahmani, but these things happen. This is the context of football. Have you watched the matches? Again, we didn't capitalize on important chances. We didn't score from clear situations. We need more players.
(Ed. Fans have asked for your resignation again) Should I resign? I heard that they are asking for my resignation, but it will not happen. I understand there is dissatisfaction. I am disappointed and frustrated that we didn't win. We have bad luck!" stated Neil Lennon, on Digi Sport, after Rapid - Dinamo 1-1.
Currently, Rapid is in 11th place in the Superliga standings, with five points, no victories, five draws, and one defeat.
