Iraklis officials scout potential players and coaching staff in Cyprus

Iraklis Thessaloniki officials Vangelis Aggelis and Stelios Marangos traveled to Cyprus to scout potential transfer targets and candidates for the vacant head coaching position. On April 22, 2026, the duo attended two Cypriot Cup semi-final matches: Paphos vs. AEL Limassol and Apollon Limassol vs. APOEL. Reports suggest that the club is interested in players such as 27-year-old left-back Kostas Pileas, whose contract expires in May 2026. Aggelis reportedly consulted with Cyprus national team coach Akis Mantzios regarding potential recruits during the Easter period. While rumors have linked AEL Limassol coach Hugo Martins to Iraklis, the club has not confirmed him as a primary target. Iraklis remains in search of a new manager following the departure of Giorgos Petrakis. The club previously signed Austrian midfielder Marko Krainz from the Cypriot league in January.
