Sandro Bloudek quickly left without a big opportunity: legendary Spaniard Michel Salgado appointed as new coach by Paphos
Although he recently told the Croatian media that he would be the one to lead the Cypriot top-flight team Paphos from the bench at least until the end of the season, this will not be the case. Sandro Bloudek quickly returned to his old position as assistant coach of the national team. The club’s board has indeed entrusted the reins to a Maribor player after Henning Berg’ s resignation, but only for a few days or until a new coach is found. This has now officially become Michel Salgado.
Michel Salgado will lead the Pafos team for the first time today in the Cyprus Cup, starting at 18:00. hours.
The 47-year-old Spanish professional has had a remarkable career in football. He played for 10 years for
Real Madrid
and made 343 appearances for Real Madrid. He was national champion four times and won the Champions League twice. He has also played 53 games for the Spanish national team.
Eight days as coach of Paphos
As a coach, he is completely inexperienced. He was active in football, but not as a coach. His only coaching experience was at Paphos, where he was in charge for only eight days last year! He took over the team after the departure of Darko Milanic, but only temporarily or until the club brought in Berg. Now Salgado, who has also played for Paphos in other roles in the past, has returned to the Stelios Kyriakides stadium, where Slovenian defender Kenan Bajrić also earns his living.
