The special experience of Konstantinos Costopoulos in the Maldives will have a second … part. Since returning to Greece in October, the most likely scenario was that the 45-year-old coach would accept a new offer of cooperation from the table tennis federation of the beautiful island state.
This happened on Christmas day, Costopoulos agreed and so from the beginning of January 2022 until the end of June 2022 he will be a federal coach in the Maldives for another six months.
With the contracts now signed, he departs tomorrow, Thursday, for the capital Male, where he had gone for the first time in March 2021, also with a 6-month contract. In his first appearance he left completely satisfied agents and athletes and he wants to have a good result for himself and the Maldives table tennis in his second term, even if it is predicted to be as small.
The main goal of the federation from the first cooperation with the former Greek international, was the preparation of the selected athletes for the competitions of young people and children between countries of South Asia, which was planned for Male. The event could not be held last year due to the coronavirus and finally the small extension in the stay of the Piraeus coach had to do with the Asian Men-Women Championship, which took place at the end of September in Doha.
This year the postponed youth event for South Asia is set for March 20-23. If the epidemiological situation allows it, it will be normal in the Maldives and Costopoulos, who marked the first job of a Greek table tennis coach abroad, has in front of him the new challenge to help the internationals to stand out and at the same time to improve technically.
