The announcement

OR Panathinaikos PAE It announces the launch of its collaboration with Yorka Seitaridis, who is taking care of our team’s academy as Youth Development Phase Coach in the K13 to K17 age sections as well as assistant coach at K16.

THE Yurka He returns to Panathinaikos after 12 years when he completed his football career. It first joined our club for the first time in 2001, before it was 20 years old. After 3.5 years of great march in Clover that ended with the conquest of Euro with National Greece, Seitaridis transferred to Porto. His football return to Panathinaikos came in 2009 and lasted four years. In his double term in Trifili, he won two doubles, recording 173 entries, as one of the most successful right -back in our club’s history.

“The choice of Yorka Seitaridis is part of the design we have decided with the team’s president, Mr. Alafouzos. It fits perfectly into the profile we were looking for. I believe that it has very good contact with children at these sensitive ages and comes to cover our academy a very important role, to inspire, to guide and to transmit Panathinaic values to the players of these ages. Yorka, welcome to our team“, Were the words of the Strategic Planning and Ambassador of the Association, Takis Fyssa.

For his part, Jourkas Seitaridis analyzed his rationale.

“I am very happy to have returned to Panathinaikos after years. It is the club that made me up in Europe, I have won with it, we have made significant European marches that are known to everyone. I accepted without a second thought the proposal of cooperation, with great joy and at the same time with a great sense of responsibility, because Panathinaikos is a very big team and we all know that there are many demands. I will do the best I can with a lot of work and my experience so that we can spend some messages through speeches and of course on the pitch. At these ages, the most important beyond football is how to make them as characters and personalities. The kids need to learn if they are given the opportunity to play Panathinaikos, who is in their hand, that Panathinaikos not only means a big team but also a battle to win titles. Because Panathinaikos means championship. Another sport, another championship. So through the friction with the kids, I will try to pass the values, ideals, the mindset of the club and to create their personality.

I would like to thank the team’s president, Mr. Alafouzos, Takis Fyssa and Theodoros Eleftheriadis for the confidence they showed me. I will do the best I can to justify them“
