Have proven what they can do at this level. There is a starting point with Coach Sakota, there is several years and there are bases. I have done three workouts and I feel very nice in the team. But we want a job, it’s still a beginning. I can say that we are on the right track and I believe that if we continue to work as now we will do something important in Greece and Europe. ”



For competition in GBL: “It is very important for teams such as ARIS and PAOK to play an important role in the league and to upgrade their roster and administrations.
