Mel’s future at OFI is up in the air: “I will talk to the management about my situation and my future”

His future seems uncertain Pep Mel in his technical leadership OFIafter the new disappointing performance of the team and the home defeat by Kifissia (1-2) for the 21st matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.

The Cretans count four consecutive defeats and just one win in the last 11 games them in all competitions, with the Spanish coach now under steam.

In fact, he revealed at the press conference after the match with Kifissia that he will have it immediately meeting with Minas Lysandros so that they can discuss the situation that has developed in the club, but also for his future.

Pep Mel’s statements in detail:



On whether he thinks it’s a matter of a coach and presents this image of OFI: “First of all, we all need to apologize for our image. If you think the problem is me, I want the best for OFI.”



For what is the problem of OFI: “According to my own opinion, the image I had in my mind of OFI was completely different. If we defend properly, we don’t attack properly and as a result we leave a gap in the defense and the team is not prepared. Whether I’m the coach or someone else the first thing OFI has to do is what game model to have. And to have players for this system and way of playing.”

For what if he himself feels what more he can give and if he is thinking of resigning: “We have a meeting with Mr. Lysandros and we will talk about my situation and my future. I have never lived a year with so many games without a win in my career. And of course a coach cannot be in the elite for 24 years without fighting”.

Regarding whether OFI delayed his transfer support and whether the transfers are his own choices: “The winter market is never a good time for transfers. Teams believing they will solve their problem in the winter means it won’t have an easy ending. But in the winter you can get players who don’t play in their clubs and are not free or else you have to pay a lot of money. So I think this problem should be solved in the summer and not now. The players I suggested were more expensive, those who came were cheaper. I have been here for 1.5 months and in this report that I have written, I mention the problems of OFI and I want OFI to have a future. Yesterday I watched OFI’s K19 for the first time, and of course I believe that the club’s future lies there.”
