Changes to Olympiakos coaching staff as Polykarpou steps down from bench duties

Olympiakos coach Kyriakos Polykarpou will not be on the bench for the upcoming match against Ethnikos at Dasaki. Nektarios Alexandrou and Helder Castro have been appointed to manage the team's coaching duties for this match and until the end of the season. Olympiakos deputy chairman Paris Fokaidis confirmed the change, emphasizing that Polykarpou remains a part of the club after 16 years of service. While official statements suggest this is a practical decision and not a formal resignation, contradictory reports from OmegaLive suggest his departure from the team is possible. Club management maintains that the decision was made in the best interest of the team. Further clarity regarding the future of the coaching staff is expected following subsequent internal discussions.
