We welcome him and wish him success“, he initially said and continued:

“At Panathinaikos we believe that teams evolve. They are not bought and they are not every year a rave. Panathinaikos plays a certain football, you know its positives and negatives, this team brought good things, two Cups, a qualification to European groups, but did not bring the championship. We want to improve our game model, which will lead us to our goal».
