The … mermaid and for crying out loud.

The verbal agreement of Giannis Alafouzos with the 67-year-old coach, in the last communication they had (after Saturday 10/10) on Monday morning (12/10), entered even more solid foundations in the afternoon of the same. day during the presence of Boloni’s agent at the Panathinaikos headquarters.
There, the final financial conditions for a 1 + 1 year contract were established. The salaries offered by the greens started at € 300,000, an amount that initially covered the 67-year-old coach, although he was asked to formalize the contract and some bonuses for team positions and win.
From there, the “+1” between the two teams can be activated at the end of this season with a decision from Panathinaikos, but also in combination with the actions of the Romanian coach on the green bench.
Boloni, from the beginning, seemed too warm to take over the technical direction of Panathinaikos, making it clear to Alafouzos that it is an honor to work with a club that, despite its problems, in recent years, remains well known throughout Europe.
The conditions (except for the economic ones) set by the Romanian to the owner of the green PAE, were to have direct contact with him to inform him of all the team’s issues, without intermediaries, while later asking for details about the project. He also stressed that he likes to work and develop new players, however, he clarified that within the dressing room he requires maximum discipline.
For his part, Alafouzos set himself as his main objectives the 3rd or 4th place and the Greek Cup (that is, the departure to Europe for the 2021/22 season), asking at the same time to gradually start the creation of a team that can star the next years.
What he was asked, however, as … imperative is that he come to Athens immediately, so that the team does not go “headless” in the game against OFI. Boloni is nothing negative, but at the moment there is one (and only) “thorn”.
Since the day the Romanian left the technical direction of Ghent he has been in Budapest (he is half of Hungarian origin) and due to the strict travel restrictions due to coronavirus, he needs a complex process to come to Greece. Even more so since his family wants to come to Athens from France and tries to avoid the possibility of a 14-day quarantine.
For this part, the Greens are in direct contact with him and his agent and a coordinated effort is made to overcome all the bureaucratic procedures, arrive in Athens on Tuesday night (10/13) and be in Koropi the next day, to assume their duties.
