This coach is probably worse then Ranieri. We are in alot of trouble. Shouldn't we have been looking for a coach who has a history of winning. Skibbe was only able to win 44% of his games in his 10 years of coaching. This man is far from a champion. His only piece of silverware is winning the Turkish supercup with Galatassaray. That is the equivalant of Olympiakos winning the Greek cup. It is a small accomplishment. He was recently fired by Turkish giants Eskishirspor. Lol did I say giants? I meant minnows. He has a series of short stints as a coach and has been fired. Why did we hire him? First he is German (I bet Gritzikis already blew him). Second he will hire Tsanas The Great as his assistant. Third he is open to double penetration (Gritzikis and agents will be able to have their way with him when they want him to call up certain players. Did you think it was bad under Ranieri? ( I predicted it was going to be bad.) We are currently 44th in the FIFA rankings. I suspect that by the end of world cup qualifying we will be closer to 80th. Congratulations Gritzikis on picking another winner. Haven't you learned from your mistakes...(Ranieri, Markarian and Tsanas.) #one disapointed Greek fan Managerial career
