Zouros: “I would like to work in a club with a perspective in Greece and win something”

The coach Elias Zouroshosted in the air of Eok Webradio and talked about his second term in Lebanon and Saxeswhile referring to his desire to find himself in Greek bench.

Recall that within the 2024 The Greek technician worked on her bench AEK Betsson and Maroussibefore returning to Lebanon.

In detail what he said:

For his second experience from Lebanon: “It was a team in which I worked 20 years ago. In those years the situation was very different, much better. My current experience was not as good in relation to organization and level issues. Of course, the situation of the country, the situation of a country, is of course a role in all things. After the crisis and the war during the season, everything became a little abnormal in Lebanon. There was no possibility of special training, there had been a collapse in the program with races almost every two days, a maximum of three, which was very heavy. I would say it was a nice experience, even though I couldn’t work much on the issue of preparation and training. There have also been changes to the roster. Nevertheless, as I am used to saying, through such a process you become better, improve and gain more experiences from situations. “

Whether he faced difficulties in adapting him in the midst of a very difficult situation in Lebanon: “They certainly existed. Of course, sport is also a way out when there are problems. From then on, I see that slowly, and for the first time since there is a president of a state, he is trying to get a class in politics. There are very big financial problems, as well as always a little danger, because very strange “hits” occur, carefully and … surgically. But there is also an effort in Lebanon to grow as much as possible. There was a lot of money this year and were given to the federation in the effort to push into the sport. Al-Trendy’s team has been on a steady basis over the last few years, it has “built” something good with very right bases and so it has the best results in recent years. Last year he won the Pan -Hellenic Championship, which was a great success. There are difficulties because there is no smoothness. Especially this year when the war took place, all things were much more difficult. It was very difficult to develop something and show a picture. This was the biggest difficulty. “

For his future: “I stopped from the sage as my goal was more of the Pan -Hellenic Championship, because through this process you are a little recognized the markets of other championships, such as Japan or China. My goal is to get into the process of European basketball again and look to … roll in this process. Unfortunately, through the very successful 7.5 -year course in National Georgia, there was a malfunction to work in a team. Nevertheless, I am very happy because on July 25th the Government of Georgia will be honored with the Golden Cross for the greatest success in the history of the country’s basketball. It’s a great distinction. It is something that rewards your hard work. My sequel may have been lost on club benches, but we have achieved something very important, the team can reach as high as possible at the level of the national teams. This gives you courage and strength, you just resume theoretically from a little back to the process of finding work in clubs. “

Whether he is thinking of training a team again in Greece: “There is always a thought to work in a serious club, which has a perspective, in a club that will be able to enable me to develop it and win something with it in the future. I am almost 17 years since I have been working abroad. I would definitely like to be in Greece and because of the family. “

On whether he would think of a possible proposal from a national team: “I know how national teams work. I have worked for almost 10 years as a head coach in national teams. I have the knowledge. I know that this job is completely different, but, on the other hand, it is important to know how to handle things and how to work, because the additions to players are different. There is also the difference that in national teams players are not paid, except for the bonuses I have of the successes. In national teams things are a little clearer. “
