According to the latest information, Olympiacos is not only changing a page but also a chapter in its coaching history, with the coach of the 2005 European champion, Panagiotis Giannakis, who has agreed with the Piraeus team, while he remains on the bench of the National team.The developments at Olympiakos are continuous and the latest information speaks of an agreement between Panagiotis Giannakis and the Piraeus team, which will be formally finalized on Friday night, when the "dragon" will meet again with the vice-president of the red and white KAE Panagiotis Angelopoulos.
In fact, the coach of the national team discussed at noon with George Vasilakopoulos at the EEC offices and they agreed that he should remain on the bench of the representative group. The Greek coach and European champion with the National Team in 2005, will replace Pini Gerson, who is leaving the Port after a year and a half.
As far as the coaching team of Olympiakos is concerned, the same authoritative sources say that it will remain the same in terms of its Greek element, which means that both Giannis Sfeiropoulos and Dimitris Marmarinos remain in their positions together with Giannakis they will try to get Olympiakos back on the road to their goals.
Panagiotis Angelopoulos handled the matter alone in the last 24 hours, determined to make a comeback and prove that, in front of the... vision he has for the Piraeus team, he is able to make decisions towards this end.
The selection of Panagiotis Giannakis seems to be the ideal solution for Olympiakos and is a natural progression of things, since the name of the "dragon" has been heard several times in the past. However, any rumors and paraphilologies have never been confirmed.
The timing of the change at the end of the Olympiakos bench is appropriate, since there is a break in the league and a margin of time for Giannakis to acclimatize and work more calmly before the continuation of the championship and the top 16 of the Euroleague.
Now, it is clear that the climate in the Olympiakos team is changing to a very significant extent and already the first reactions of the world are particularly positive with this development and they consider the choice of Panagiotis Giannakis for the Olympiakos bench correct.
Lynn Greer has not been in the best possible shape lately and there are not a few who say that he will be the next to leave Olympiakos, after Pini Gerson. However, if the issue of the coach is not resolved first, no decision on a player can proceed.
On top of that, in order for Greer to leave, a replacement must be found and this will be done after things "calm down" on the bench of the red and white team.
However, Pini Gerson, speaking to the Israeli site one.co.il, emphasized that he has no idea that he is leaving Olympiakos, although the information is not on his side: "No one has told me that I am being fired. In the morning I will go to training as usual".
