Mitchell is a past member of the Olympiakos benchwho changes coach for the 4th time this season, with Jose Anigo to assume, at least for the derby on Wednesday (5/4, 9:00 p.m.) with PAOK, duty of technical staff.
After yesterday, shocking result with Aris, the Spanish coach was in a bad psychological state and it seems that he could not stand the pressure, with the disapprovals of the world, the general dissatisfaction that exists in the ranks of the fans and the intense criticism.
Since the crucial derby with PAOK is in 48 hours, there was an attempt by the management to see if the 60-year-old coach would change his mind. He, however, was adamant, sticking to his decision to resign and that’s how the end titles fell to the cooperation of the two sides.
Commenting on the stormy developments at Olympiakos with the end of Mitchell, o Michalis Tsochos he said to News Bulletin 247 and Newsroom show: “Mitchell is not a coach, who gives you the feeling and the vision that he will play modern and modern football and that he will dominate the next three years. But Olympiacos was not looking for such a coach in September. He was looking for a coach, who will accept a roster of 45 players, with 30 being summer transfers, and take the championship. Who will tell him “come here, I’m 5th, I have 45 players and I want the championship”. He didn’t say “let’s build a team” but “let’s win the championship”.
Mitchell said some things after the Cup loss to AEK. That, okay, 3-0 hurt us a lot, but we can’t level everything, level the work we’ve done. However, learned firsthand yesterday that many fans are on the fence. He was late to make statements on the subscription channel, because he was waiting for people to leave, since there was tension! He understood, also, in this reaction, that he didn’t have any great support from the administration either and decided that there is no point in continuing like this, since it will do more harm to the team. In the derby with PAOK, everyone would be in red, while Olympiacos also had no objection to leaving now».
Then the producer of the top sports frequency emphasized: “Olympiacos, not only during the Marinakis era, but also during the Kokkalis era, is the team that changes much more easily than any other coach. He experiences great crises even there, which do not exist! It’s hard to handle results like yesterday. Yesterday we saw Panathinaikos playing against Volos and PAOK losing to AEK and not opening a nostril. In Olympiakos, the universe dissolves! Sometimes, a few times, this has worked beneficially, in the long run, but you pay for it. And the most important, just as Olympiacos learned his world and the press, he is not getting anywhere! If they are to climb the bars again in the first European game in the summer, when the twist will happen, it will not come out anywhere! He will always look for the next of the next (coach included). The solution for Olympiakos cannot always be to “press the panic button”. It takes composure».
