AEL management faces pressure to clarify coaching and roster decisions for next season

AEL Limassol has concluded its competitive objectives for the 2025-2026 season and faces growing fan dissatisfaction. A primary concern is the status of coach Martins, whose contract contained an automatic renewal clause contingent on reaching the top six or winning the cup, neither of which occurred. As of April 2026, the administration led by Konstantinou has yet to announce if the Portuguese manager will remain in his position. Furthermore, the club is preparing for significant roster changes due to mediocre performances throughout the year. Public scrutiny has specifically focused on players Foriesteri and Zradi, who are confirmed to leave but continue to receive playing time. Fans have questioned why these minutes are not being allocated to younger players or those under contract for the upcoming season. The management is expected to provide formal clarity regarding the coaching staff soon, though specific personnel changes remain pending until the conclusion of the championship.
