Even though Greek media claimed just days ago that Panathinaikos wouldn’t change the coach, that’s precisely what happened the day after Christmas. Dušan Jovanović, a specialist from Serbia, had to bid farewell after three defeats in the last five matches. Taking his place at the helm of the giants from Athens will be the legendary Turk. Slovenian national team players Andraž Šporar, Adam Gnezda Čerin, and Benjamin Verbič will now play under the leadership of none other than Fatih Terim!
“I will already be at Panathinaikos’ training tomorrow,” confirmed 70-year-old Fatih Terim, who previously managed Galatasaray, as well as Fiorentina and AC Milan, while also serving as the Turkish national coach. With Galatasaray, he won the Turkish championship eight times and claimed the UEFA Cup in 2000. Additionally, in 2008, he led Turkey to the semifinals of the European Championship.
Upon his arrival in Greece, where he begins his first foreign job in as long as 22 years, Fatih Terim will sign a year-and-a-half contract with Panathinaikos. His main goal is clear: “I’m coming for the national championship title! Then we’ll see what’s next…” It’ll undoubtedly be interesting to see what the coaching change means for Šporar, Gnezda Čerin, and Verbič…
