 Who is Antonio Cordon? By Stephen Kountourou After the 2022/23 season disaster, Olympiakos needed to act fast in bringing in the right people to steer the club back to where the club and fans are accustomed. One of the biggest problems when looking back on the campaign just gone, was the evident lack of vision and organisation for building the squad, properly preparing the team for both the League and Europe and which manager was right to lead the team into the next era for the long term. This is where Antonio Cordon comes in. The Spanish Sports Director already came with a big reputation when he officially signed for Thrylos on the 1st of June on a three-year deal. But the fact that he has already spent the last two weeks chasing managers and recommending players before he was officially announced, shows early signs of just how excellent this appointment could be for the future of Olympiakos.

Olympiakos and Nottingham Forest:  Two Sides of the Same Coin? By Stephen Kountourou Evangelos Marinakis has had a rollercoaster of a time as a multi-club owner this season.

Super League: XI of the 2022-23 season. The season has offered excitement of a rarely seen kind and finally AEK was able to draw the longest straw. They thus picked up the league title in their first season at the new OPAP Arena Agia Sophia in Nea Filafeldeia. Join us as I summaries the season and single out the players who performed best. By Andreas Mitsis, The 2022-23 league season has reached its end point. AEK became champions and on Sunday (14/5) were able to crown their first season at the new magnificent OPAP Arena Agia Sophia with a league gold.  The club's first since the 2017-18 season and their thirteenth all-time. All AEK needed in advance in the last playoff round at home against Volos was not to lose, which they obviously didn't do. 4-0 the numbers were written against Volos and the whole of Nea Filadelfeia was one big yellow-black sea with a senseless party all day long for all the AEK supporters in and around Agia Sophia. The season as a whole has brought a bit ...
