In a dire moment of form, with Neil Lennon on the bench, Rapid is not planning to wait too long for the Northern Irish coach to get the team out of crisis.
The disastrous results obtained with Rapid at the beginning of the new season could be fatal for Neil Lennon, who has received an ultimatum from the management. If he does not defeat Dinamo, Neil Lennon risks being dismissed from Rapid, and Dan Șucu and the team’s leadership have already chosen his replacement.
According to Digi Sport, Cristian Chivu (43 years old) is Dan Șucu's choice to replace Neil Lennon if things continue to go wrong for the team. Unattached, Chivu discussed for a few hours with Dan Șucu in a meeting they had.
It remains to be seen, however, if the former captain of the Romanian national team will accept Rapid's proposal in case Neil Lennon is removed. Cristian Chivu gives priority to offers from Italy or the Netherlands, should they arise.
