The next day at AEK: Kanzouris, the only two contracts and the “noose”

A season of mixed emotions ended for her AEK after being eliminated by Peristeri bwin in the first round of the playoffs. The “Union” may have practically finished sixth in the league, but their excellent run in Europe, where they came one win away from the BCL Final 4, left a good feeling and the team again overcame many misfortunes during the season.

The next day includes quite questionable. In the management there is satisfaction for it work of Ilias Kanzouris and their cooperation, but the future of this will be clarified in a meeting that will probably take place next week. At the moment, the Greek technician does not have a contract in force, but it is most likely (but not certain) that he will continue on the bench.

As for the roster, just two players are under contract and for the new season. Dimitris Flionis and Andreas Petropoulos, with the former still having a buy-out and rumored to be being considered by the “eternal” players who play in the Euroleague. Instead, all other players remain free.

There is a positive mood for expanding cooperation for him Vlado Jankovic, who had a very important offer, while even yesterday he played with an injury for almost the entire match with Peristeri bwin. All other cases of Greeks are open, while those of Vassilis Xanthopoulou and Dimitris Mavroidiswho are old, but have a big impact in the locker room.

As for foreigners, great impressions were made by Kenny Williams, Achille Mitchell and Brendon Lemar, however the latter will consider his options to find a contract even in the Euroleague. Oriola, Madsen and Miles will hardly remain, while o Strelnieks if he returns to action healthy from the Achilles tear he suffered, it is not unlikely that he will be involved during the course of next season.

An important role in the planning for the new season may also be played by the fate of the appeal to the CAS for the extermination penalty imposed for the second match against Hapoel Jerusalem in the BCL playoffs. The current penalty foresees that AEK will play the whole of the next season behind closed doors in the competition, which will certainly be a strong blow for the “yellow and black” if it is maintained.
