The info coming out is that he’s a defensive coach who grinds out a result. Sort of like Greece 2004-14. That will be interesting, because the philosophy over the last 2 years was to play more attractive, attacking football.
When he was at AEK he was quite impressed with Mantalos and I think in 2016 wanted to sign him at Shanghai Shenhua after leaving AEK. I will be curious to see what he does with the squad, whether he brings back any of Manolas, Soc, Retsos, Fountas or if he stays with the current squad. Also, players such as Fortounis, Galanopoulos, Kourbelis are coming back after long injury. Every new coach usually adds at least one new face.
Next match is a friendly with Romania 26/3.
