Weiss: “We didn’t have chemistry with Mitchell at Olympiakos, I wanted to leave”

During his short stay at Olympiakos, Vladimir Weiss was mentioned, pointing out once again that he did not fit in with Mitchell.

“I stood by and later it backfired on me“, he initially reported and added: “There was no player-coach chemistry, we didn’t fit. Family problems ruined everything, I just wanted to leave Athens. Al Duhail picked me up a few days later (after moving to Lehwiya first). I admit I didn’t know where Qatar was until then».

Afterwards, the Slovak referred to the completion of his collaboration with the Piraeus, emphasizing: “My father sent me to Qatar. I had a high release clause at Olympiakos, no one from Europe would pay it. So I told my father that I will ask for something and if they don’t agree, I won’t go. He answered in the affirmative and so did Al Duhail without hesitation».

However, it is not the first time that Weiss makes it clear that he does not have the best feelings for the Spanish technician. Immediately after Olympiakos was eliminated by Manchester United, the then young winger he had written on twitter about his former coach: “Unlucky for Olympiacos today, but that’s football. At least Mr. Modelo looked handsome on the bench, so he’ll be happy».
