Gattuso asked for time-Who else is being examined by Olympiacos

THE Gennaro Gattuso remains in the forefront for next season’s coaching position at Olympic, without this meaning that it is considered closed. The Italian technician, represented by Jorge Mendes, with whom there is good cooperation at the port, has requested a deadline of a few days to answer the “red and white” wanting-obviously-to consider his options, but in any case he is seriously considering the perspective of the Piraeus, about whom he has gathered a lot of information.

Olympiacos will not wait for… forever the 45-year-old coach, as well the management’s intention is to agree with the new team coach as soon as possible, so that planning can begin immediately. For this reason, other cases, such as the Israeli one, are being examined Barak Bahar who leaves Maccabi Haifa and has an offer from Red Star, the American Jesse Marsh who left Leeds but has priority to stay in the Premier League, the Ukrainian Sergey Rembrov who works in Al Ain, while Gazzetta dello Sport yesterday spoke of an interest in the… old friend Esteban Cambiasso. Among the names that have been suggested is that of the Portuguese Bruno Laze or even the English legend Steven Gerrard.

At the same time, the team has been preparing since yesterday for the Sunday’s league derby against AEK at “G. Karaiskakis” (21:00), which offers a perhaps last chance for the team to compete for the championship or even second place. There are no problems other than this Sergi Kanossince and Rodney overcame the virus. In fact, the Brazilian right-back may be the only change in the lineup (instead of Androutsos) in relation to the Holy Wednesday Cup rematch.
