Sfeiropoulos: “If I was afraid of the derby with Partizan, I would stay at home”

by

THE Red Star start with victory over the FMP during the Yannis Sfeiropoulos era and the Greek coach did not hide his satisfaction for the task he undertook, without… a trace of fear for the following derbies against Partisan for Euroleague (26/10) and Adriatic League (30/10).

I am honored to be the coach of Red Star. This is a great club with a great history and I feel blessed. I thank the administration for the opportunity. Everything happened very quickly. I have a lot of respect for Dusko Ivanovic, who is an excellent coach and person. He left a team in a very good condition and I believe that together we will fight for success with the people by our side, in good times and bad“, he said.

About the two upcoming derbies he said:If I was scared I would stay home“, while adding that he knows well how to manage a team he takes over during the season. “It is difficult for players to get used to a new manager. This is the fourth time I’ve taken over an October or November team. The same had happened to Olympiakos, Maccabi and previously Panionios. I have the experience of such situations, but it is not easy to change your philosophy when you have games to win».
