A loud outburst with clear spikes and serious complaints comes from the coach of the AEK Men’s Polo Team, Konstantinos Kokkinakis. A few weeks after the Union’s relegation to A2, the experienced technician released a harsh letter, describing in detail the abandonment of the team by the AEK administration, the complete lack of support, the delays of payments and the uncovered promises.
Kokkinakis talks about conditions that are not appropriate to the size and history of the club, for an “budget A2” survival effort, to search for money from parents and for a race given without any substantial help.
His letter comes to dramatically highlight the Pathogenesis in the operation of the departmentraising reasonable questions about his future!
In detail the message of Kokkinakis on social media:
“” Gentlemen “of Amateur AEK …
You told us that we would get under AEK’s wings, that AEK is a family, you laughed when we told you that we were paid 10 months in our sport and told us that you are giving it 2 months ahead and within 6 months you are paying off! Lies and this, like many others.
Last year you are calling us to make a team at A1 at the end of July when all the players were closed in teams. With the team leader we ran and found some who could help in the effort to stay, but you finally told us that you have no money. We ended up with A2 group budget, as much as half a player at Olympiacos.
We were looking for you until early September to pay the pool to start preparing, we had to find ourselves with a beaches of 5,000 € from a child parent to enter the pool. Without a gym, no assistant, no superior (Nikos Sellas, who was the leader came, because we were more beautiful than the specified time to do what a AEK supervisor should do and then he was going to play league match).
I was sitting on the bench alone in almost all games. Is there another AEK sport that the coach is alone on the bench? Advertising we fought on our own. The only one who appeared once towards the end of the championship was the general leader, no one else was interested in coming to say a chat to AEK athletes!
At the end of the first round we found again with personal actions of 2 foreign national teams at a total cost of € 20,000, with which the team would probably be saved. But again they said they had no money. “Let the team fall this year,” they told me, “so that time in A2 it will enter a solid basis and climb again!”
Missing to this day and the team unpaid 4 months … If this is AEK, we are really entitled to better luck and support as a team. Finally, I would like to thank the fans of the team who came to support us in Patras and Chios, even though they knew the tragic situation in the team. “
