Manolis Solanakis remains at Apollo Smyrnis. The 29-year-old striker and leader of the “light brigade” has agreed with the Challenger Cup winners for another year and will be at Serafio for a fourth consecutive season.
In detail, the announcement:
“The leader of the European cup remains in his position! GS Apollon Smyrnis announces the extension of its collaboration with Manolis Solanakis for the 2023-2024 season as well!
The 29-year-old international striker, who two days after his birthday celebrated with his teammates on April 29 the conquest of the Challenger Cup, contributing decisively both with his performance in the pool and with his leadership characteristics as a captain in the realization of a magical of the year, he will wear the ‘light brigade’ cap in the new season as well!
For the fourth consecutive year, he will continue to Apollon, who took third place in this year’s A1, and in the new year he will participate in his fifth consecutive European appearance in the Champions League qualifiers.
The flag remains at its mast, then, with him declaring on the department’s official website: “I would like to thank the people of Apollo for their trust in me. I am truly happy to remain in the Apollo family for the fourth year in a row. On a personal level, I will do my best to help the team achieve its goals.”
Manolis Solanakis also had an excellent year on a personal level. He scored 83 goals in the Greek league this year, third in the scorers’ table just behind Bogdanovic (92) and Foudoulis (86 with one or more finals pending), another 4 in one Cup game with Vouliagmeni, as well as 24 in… the team’s frantic European course! At the same time, he won countless clearances (over 7 m.o. per match), being faithful to his defensive duties as well!
His excellent performances attracted the interest of many clubs both from Greece and abroad, but he said ‘yes’ to the renewal proposal of Apollon Smyrni and is ready to claim new honors next year. The ‘building’ of the new season’s roster begins in the best possible way and the continuation is expected to be very dynamic.”
