Nikos Anastopoulos was in favor of the new diversification in the technical leadership of Olympiakos, commenting on the decision on the departure of Carvalial and the hiring of Medilibar.
“If the president decides that the person chosen by the authorities is not doing well, why not change him? Not six, he can change 36, if someone doesn’t do his job well he has to leave”said the Greek coach who has linked his name while playing with Olympiakos.
His statements in detail on Metropolis 95.5
About the new coach change at Olympiakos:
“The coaches are leaving because the players can’t leave. If the president judges that the person chosen by the authorities is not doing well, why not change him? Not six, 36 can change, if someone doesn’t do their job well they have to go. The one brought by Marinakis was the one who brought the coach, just like the previous one and in my opinion he did well and kicked him out. To kick out the 6th coach you need to have a soul.”
For transfers made:
“These 70 players who have come are choices of the coaches who have changed. With “if” you don’t do anything, with “if” you can’t achieve anything in football. After this selection, Marinakis will choose the best and pay him handsomely. He brought Kodron to Olympiakos with two million euros per year, in his opinion he was the best, he asked him to bring a coach and players, they didn’t do it and he changed them. In the big teams, you can’t wait, they are made to say “here and now I want the championship. Who was Martins when he came? Did his mother know him? Marinakis gave him the guarantees to get the players he wanted and to achieve what he has achieved over time.”
For the championship:
“The championship will be decided in the playoffs, last year AEK believed with a difference of 8 points and won the championship. Everything is possible, there is a priority, let’s see everything”.
On Razvan Lucescu’s contract renewal:
“Lucescu shows with his results that he is the ideal coach for PAOK and it shows on the pitch. He corrected last year’s and the year before last’s instability with players who came, because the coach is not a magician, he also needs players.”
For the PAOK – AEK derby:
“It is a derby that will be decided in the details. AEK is very good against a very good PAOK. The match will be decided on the pressure and the play of the center area”.
