THE 34 -year -old ace He has played for the last five years in the Thessaloniki, making 241 appearances, which he combined with 34 goals and 23 assists, while winning a championship (2023-24) and a cup (2020-21).
In detail his message
“It’s time for me, as a footballer, to say goodbye to all of you, my PAOKara.
It’s really hard to find the right words. Since it was announced last Monday, that I was leaving PAOK, I have received incredible love and moving messages from the world for the last five years. All I can do is to pay back this love. I’m really excited.
The last five years have been unique to me. Together we celebrated a cup and a championship. I always wore the PAOK jersey with pride and honor, and I had the privilege of competing in 241 games with this great club.
Time spent very quickly for us as a family. Thanks to your hospitality, we immediately felt at home. Being a footballer is the most beautiful and better profession I can imagine, but football changes quickly and the change is part of it. Success and beautiful memories will stay forever.
I will be missing a lot of living these emotions and passion with you every week, every race! We want to say a huge thanks for everything we lived together, for an unforgettable and successful route.
My football journey continues, of course I will watch you closely and celebrate your every success!
A special thank you to the Savvidis family and especially to the President, Mr. Ivan Savvidis. Believe in me and gave me the opportunity to evolve. I would like to thank all the people with whom I have worked for these 5 years – the administration and the whole technical team!
And of course: “Thank you very much” to all my teammates with whom I shared the changing rooms daily.
I was lucky enough to meet wonderful people and I am grateful to have made many new friends.
Finally, I would like to refer to this country itself, the beautiful Greece and the magnificent city of Thessaloniki. We will always come with joy! We will miss PAOK and Greece.
We love PAOK, Thessaloniki, Perea and Greece.
With appreciation,
Stefan and his family‘
