Nikolakopoulos: “From the beginning Cordon had told Martinez to Olympiakos”

On the occasion of Diego Martinez’s arrival in Greece today and the goal he will undertake to restore the team to a decent presence in Europe, Kostas Nikolakopoulos characterized the task of the Spaniard as difficult, transferring the Olympiakos report to News Bulletin 247. The reporter of the Red and Whites emphasized that the Spanish technician in his attempt will have the support of Cord but also his Vangelis Marinakis with transfers from Spain, South America, etc.

Then the reporter explained to us that Cordon from the first moment he discussed with Olympiakos about the matter of the coach, had said two names as the best options: Martinez and Jordi Cruyffbut which quickly got out of the plan as it was judged as a risky solution as he only has two seasons as a coach, in Israel and China.

THE Cord from the first moment he had expressed the desire to work with him Martinezsaying he is one very good coach but also considering that the system at Olympiakos could work better with a coach he knew very well and had worked with in the past (Granada).

Of the other names that had been heard about Olympiakos, Martherlino from the first phone call was strongly negative and Iraola quickly made it clear that Greece was not among his priorities.

Kostas Nikolakopoulos added that two weeks ago he had declared himself available Bordalas, but Cordon always considered that the Martinez is an ideal choice for the Olympiakos bench.
