Anorthosis prepares for next season amidst transfer embargo and coaching continuity
Anorthosis Famagusta is focusing on the final stages of the Cyprus League play-out round while addressing long-term planning under head coach Mauro Camoranesi. Despite a CAS-imposed transfer embargo for the 2026-27 season, the club is prioritizing squad evaluation and the renewal of key contracts. Recent reports confirm that Mauro Camoranesi remains under contract until 2027, and he is actively utilizing upcoming matches to assess the current roster. Midfielder Michail Ioannou has recently emerged as a significant player, following his recovery from injuries and his first goal of the season. Negotiations are also underway to extend the contract of Portuguese defender Kiko, who is considered a stable fixture in the starting lineup. The team currently aims to secure the first position in the second group of the championship. Despite speculation following a brief comment by Camoranesi, the management maintains that the coach is fully committed to his duties. The club plans to move forward by relying on existing personnel and potential returnees from loan deals.
