The story of his historical move by his Panathinaic in Olympic In 2010 the Vassilis Spanoulis In an interview with “Skweek”. The Monaco coach now referred to his coaching philosophy, how he does not believe in luck and is not afraid of failure, and admitted that Mike James reminds him quite a bit.

In detail the statements to “Skweek”:

For his departure from Panathinaikos and his accession to Olympiacos: “It was my destiny to go to Olympiacos. I always wanted to go there and then it was the right timing for me to go there and guide the team. To drive the team to become the best team in Greece and Europe. I wanted to go and upload a team to the top. This was my dream since I was a young child. In Panathinaikos I didn’t have this opportunity. I was one of the best players in the team, but we had a lot of stars, many leaders, great players. You know there (at Olympiacos) they wanted something different, to build the team around me and that was a big challenge for me. This is what I did from a very young age. I love it. I like responsibilities. And the people of Olympiacos approached me in the right way, they explained the plan to me. I liked what I heard and I had a great motivation. It was a big challenge for me. ”

For his leadership characteristics as a player and coach: “When you play the game, you have the ball and you make the decisions. Being a coach, you have to inspire and prepare the player to make decisions. It is very important for me to have the right chemistry and the right players, because the players are the stars of the game, not the coaches. The coaches put chemistry, discipline, roles, psychology … but I don’t shoot the ball … I don’t make decisions, players make decisions. ”

For his character: “The most important thing for me is that I was never worried about failure. I’m not afraid to lose. I can take responsibility, I can accept to lose. But be sure I will be back as quickly as possible. This is my character. The biggest winners are those who are not afraid to lose. If you are afraid to lose, you will lose. And you will lose continuously. “
