AEK Larnaca resumes training following intense schedule and managerial shift

AEK Larnaca players returned to training on Monday, March 30, following a rest period after a busy schedule that included two UEFA Conference League matches against Crystal Palace and a league derby against APOEL. Javi Rodaha, who took over as head coach on March 12, has overseen a period featuring matches against Crystal Palace, Ethnikos Achnas, Akritas Chlorakas, and APOEL. Under his leadership, the team secured significant domestic wins but was eliminated by Crystal Palace in the Conference League after extra time. Players Miramon, Suarez, and Naoum are currently attempting to return to full training, though their availability for the upcoming away match against Apollon remains uncertain. The team has nine playoff matches remaining, which will be decisive for their championship prospects and European qualification. Analysts view the performance of the squad and the transitional period under the 43-year-old Spanish coach as generally positive so far. Further evaluation of Rodaha’s tenure is expected following the conclusion of the season.
