Anorthosis secures top spot in group B under Mauro Camoranesi
Anorthosis Famagusta has experienced a significant turnaround under the leadership of coach Mauro Camoranesi, currently occupying the first position in the second group with 35 points. Since Camoranesi took charge, the team has remained undefeated for seven consecutive matches, securing 15 out of a possible 21 points. A major contributing factor to this stability has been the defensive reinforcement provided by new signings, including goalkeeper Jakob Karlstrom, defender Nemanja Tosić, and midfielder Rob Middendorp, who have significantly improved the team's defensive record. January arrival Rafa Lopes has also proven crucial in attack, netting four goals in 615 minutes, including a late penalty winner against Akritas Chlorakas. Despite the success, some reports have linked Camoranesi to other clubs, but the team maintains that he is under contract until 2027. While the team's performance has improved, it still faces challenges, as evidenced by a goal difference of -9 with 26 goals scored and 35 conceded. The club is currently focusing on consistency to build a foundation for the following season.
