Olympiacos Piraeus

[Faliro]

If I was in charge...tomorrow you wouldn't have a manager.

Many say Greek football is defined by violence, passion and corruption. For me, the most impressive thing in Greek football is how easily someone is sacked.

I remember we had a coach in Greece.. Nikos Alefantos.. he lasted as coach of Fostiras just 3 hours.. it wasn't even a match day.. apparently he had an argument with one of the players in training.

[Saveloy]

Has it been confirmed he got the sack? I would love it if Olympiacos kept him a little  longer, just to be sure he doesn't come here.

Then he can be fired, like the classless shit he is.

[Faliro]

It is not confirmed so your wish is granted. Marinakis will decide his future on Tuesday when he is back.

That's why I like Greeks, warm blood runs in your veins

You've reached a state where anyone you chose has 99% of winning, so it's not a bid deal. But not having stability kinda sucks..

I think that in the Mediterranean we always tend to be spontaneous and pretty much end up making bad decisions on the heat of the moment. 

[Faliro]

You summed the problem up perfectly. Half the members of this forum would have won the double with Olympiacos this season and the owners know it. So therefore, a coach has to bring something extra. Many coaches like Jardim, VP, Ketsbaia etc really fucked up when they came to Olympiacos..playing with two defensive midfielders etc.. scraping 1-0s against village teams...

Your remit when you sign up as coach for Olympiacos is simple. Win and win big. Don't treat Panthrakikos like Real Madrid..

According to latest reports VP is history. Marinakis already looking for a new coach in Berlin.

VP looks to be finished at Olympiacos.

Do you think he is a viable option for Benfica? A lot of fans here seem to want him.

What was Olympiacos's football like this year?

Our football was disjointed by our standards but that has more to do with Affelay getting Michel fired and Durmaz, Jara, Dossevi etc being poor.

It is impossible to evaluate a coach in Greece who is in charge of Olympiacos because we have millions more than anyone else spent on our team. VP however did not show me anything to think he is master tactician. Many weaker Greek teams either beat us or out played us.

I would say VP is a defensive type of coach who starts by trying not to concede, rather than making his team score many goals.

I preferred Michel to VP.. However at Olympiacos we care more about style than results. At Benfica I think many would be happy with a 1-0 over a weaker opponent. So therefore, VP has the potential to be liked at Benfica.

Then keep him 

Of course there's a few who'd be happy with a 1-0 agaisnt a weak opponent, but I don't think that's the majority's thought, at least not for me. Though I don't think that would happen in Portugal, not even with VP.

What would happend to that motherfucker if he was Olympiakos' manager for 6 years and then suddently he goes to Panathinaikos or AEK, only for money?

[TFFS]

I'm one of those who would not matter if we won all the matches by 1-0 if there was a great probability of winning titles. For me, it's the thing that makes history. 20 years later the only thing that would matter was that Benfica had those tropees exposed on the Museu Cosme Damião.

But again.. we have so many more titles than the others, what does another 5 or 10 matter? We just want entertainment in Piraeus.

Gazzetta made a quick poll in the hope of saving VP. It asked its readers online, if VP should be let go, or given a chance. Most voted to let him go.

Google translation is awful.

Especially with Greek...
