Răzvan Lucescu (born 17 February 1969, Bucharest) is a Romanian former football goalkeeper and currently the football manager of FC Braşov. He is the son of football player and manager Mircea Lucescu. On June 20th 2006, Răzvan Lucescu had agreed to sign a 3 year contract with FCU Politehnica Timişoara. However, he changed his mind three days later and decided to continue with Rapid Bucharest, after more than two weeks of thinking.

At Rapid Bucharest, Razvan Lucescu was also known as José Mourinho of Giuleşti.

Razvan Lucescu is among the most respected people in Romanian football. He has made his reputation in the past years as a calm manager, a smart manager and a tactical genius. Razvan is following in his father's footsteps. His father, Mircea Lucescu, has definitely shared his experience and his tactical genius with Razvan. Lucescu Jr. (as he is nicknamed) will surely end up to be one of the best Romanian managers in history. At such a young age, he took Rapid Bucuresti to the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, after Rapid was in 12th place in the league. He brought them to second place in a close season finish, losing the first place by only 3 points to Steaua. With Rapid, Razvan has managed to win the Romanian Cup and to bring glory back to the club. However, in 2007 Razvan has decided not to continue with Rapid, after a fallout with some of the supporters and several disagreements with the club owner. He opted to return to FC Brasov, where he started his coaching career, in 2003.
