“I’m here today, tomorrow is a new day …”, he said. Abel ferreira after the end of PAOK’s game against Granada, which was the last on Dikefalos’s bench.
The Portuguese coach, who arrived last June to replace Razvan Lucescu, goes to Brazil to assume the technical direction of Palmeira and in his place comes Pablo García!
The PAOK favorite for 3 years is the club’s K19 coach, which has led him to the same number of titles, while running an incredible unbeaten streak of 78 games (this year he has 6 wins in the same number of games).
Pablo Gabriel Pérez García joined PAOK in 2008 (after having moved from Atlético de Madrid, Milan, Real Madrid, among others) and stayed until 2014 when he went to Xanthi where he ended his career.
At age 6 in Toumba he was adored by people, but there were many moments that he provoked with his savagery (The punch on Diogo ends in the derby with Olympiakos in Karaiskaki), while the strongest image of his career in black and white took place on February 24, 2010.
Three days before the derby with Panathinaikos, García lost his mother and went to Uruguay. He returned on the eve of the match and asked to play, scoring a goal of rare beauty in minute 58 with which PAOK opened the scoring (final result 2-1 for the black and white).
It was the first and only time he leaned in, snuggled, and raised his hands to the sky.
“They let you fall, you must get up …” is his favorite motto and now at 43 he is preparing for the first great coaching challenge of his career …
He will start work tomorrow, with the information that they want him to have traveled from today to Agrinio where he will receive the mission (from Granada he will land in Aktio) and will do his first training with a view to Sunday’s match with Panetolikos.
