The Alafouzou-Sari dinner and the family issues that put a brake on a huge and unprecedented deal!

THE Panathinaikos decided to turn to his second choice for technical leadership and is expected to bring him to the country soon Diego Alonso to take over the reins of the team.

The “greens” were in a good mood to wait for him Maurizio Sarribut the fact that preparation actually starts in a week and everything would go backwards brings the Uruguayan coach’s case to the fore.

The “bomb” with his arrival Sari which he tried Yannis Alafouzos did not activate, despite a huge (over)effort. What does this mean; How the boss of the “trefoil” fought to bring to our league the greatest coach who would have worked here, offering him a contract far from Greek standards.

It all started three weeks ago when Mr Yannis Alafouzos traveled to Italy, wanting to speak with him in person Maurizio Sarri. The two ate at the home of the 65-year-old technician, who wanted to listen to Panathinaikos’ proposal. The team’s plan was explained to him in every detail, explaining to him why he wanted him Sari to be the… absolute boss and the strongest foundation in the project that Mr. Alafuzos.

Sure enough, all the details of the transfer plan were worked out and he was presented with his lucrative contract, which would amount to 5 million euros annually. With all of the above, they impressed the experienced coach who asked for his time to think and answer, having all this time to deal with various issues.

Mainly, the family problems he is facing were the ones that took him… back, and which he also talked about in an interview in Italy a few days ago, and they did not allow him to answer the Panathinaikos within a reasonable time. And it was logical, based on the pressure of time that exists in the club in view of the start of the preparation and the qualifiers of the Europa League to come, that the “greens” turn to his selection Diego Alonso for their bench.
