Their relation From Greece with Spain football is a fact. There are many footballers who came from the country of Iberia to put their … bread in our parts, while there are not a few coaches who took over the technical direction of the Greek clubs. In fact, Manolo Jiménez now has four terms with AEK.
However, there is a Spanish team that has influenced Greek football as little as possible, without even looking for it, while it has never found a rival with a team from our country. And yet he has … sent us many players who “scored” the most popular sport in our parts.
The paradox is that with the exception of two, most of them are not even Spanish, while these two exceptions did not compete much in Greece. The reason for Osasuna, the team from Pamplona, a town in the Basque Country.
