The announcement:
Welcome Toujia! Is it days now that Gatzinho, as a conscientious captain, grumbled to the other saying “we’ll get high”?
And the other laughed… And suddenly “Tujia” appeared with the flame on his chest!
With the important intervention of the member of the Board of Directors. Alexandrou Deskou, our team managed to include an iconic athlete with a memorable career and presence on the court and with significant successes over the years, Stavros Toutziarakis!
Stavros, born in 1987, with a height of 2.10m, came to “fill” our racket and terrify the opponents. Member of all the small National Teams, with appearances in many European Championships, won the silver medal at the 2009 Mediterranean Games.
It started with Aristotle Florinas and Mantoulidis and the first professional contract was with Makedonikos.
He followed a long career both in the halls of the Basket League, and abroad wearing the jerseys of AEK, Amarousiou, Ikaros Kallithea, OFI, the Swedish Solna Vikings (2012-14) and the Hungarian MAFK.
In 2015 he returned to Greece on behalf of Kymi and until 2021 followed a second course in teams of the Basket League, such as Prometheus Patrons, Kolossos Rhodes and Ionian Nikias with a break for the Qatari Al Sand of Manos Manouselis.
In the last two years he played in the Elite League for Eleftheroupolis and last season he averaged 16 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists, being the first rebounder in the category.
We welcome Stavros to the NEM family and hope to make our dreams come true with him!
In his first statements as a NEM athlete, Savvas Toutziarakis stated: “I am very happy to be part of the team. I want to thank coach Mandalos, coach Tsoushidis and all the staff as well as the administration for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to become a member of the NEM family.
