Paphos FC parts ways with head coach Albert Celades
Paphos FC has officially announced the termination of its partnership with head coach Albert Celades, along with coaching staff members Raul Valbuena and Juanjo Del Ojo. During his tenure, Celades led the club to a historic victory against Slavia Prague in the UEFA Champions League and guided the team to the Cyprus Cup final. The club management publicly thanked him for his contributions, including his role in promoting youth academy players during high-profile matches against teams like Chelsea FC. Despite his achievements, reports indicate mounting pressure due to inconsistent performance and internal dissatisfaction with the team's tactical stability. The club finished the season under his guidance with a record of 9 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses in 21 matches. Following his departure, media outlets have linked former APOEL coach Ricardo Sa Pinto and his assistant Nuno Morais to the vacant position, though official appointments are yet to be confirmed.
