As a result of this it was decided that the partnership will not continue.
Fatih Terim’s statement:
Since last December, my team and I have been doing our best at PAE Panathinaikos, with all our strength, to finish the 2023-2024 season as champions and make Panathinaikos fans live happily which unfortunately he was gone for 13 years. Yesterday afternoon, President Alafouzos and I met and assessed the situation together, upon which we saw that our plans for the 2024-2025 season were not aligned. As a result of this meeting, it was decided that our business relationship will not continue.
I especially thank the Panathinaikos fans who embraced us during the six months we spent in Athens, the President Giannis Alafouzos, as well as the club staff and I am also grateful to the football community here, who expressed their love and respect for the team and me at every opportunity. I sincerely wish Panathinaikos a successful future.
