Adam Gnezda Čerin, Andraž Šporar (the latter two are on the wishlist of Zagreb’s Dinamo), and Benjamin Verbič are undoubtedly thinking about Euro 2024 these days, but during their preparations to depart for Germany, they received news from Greece that undoubtedly piqued their interest. The trio of Slovenian national team players has gained a new club coach after Panathinaikos agreed to collaborate with the former coach of Uruguay.
The Green-Whites from Athens have appointed Diego Alonso, once a successful footballer who scored goals, among others, wearing the jersey of Atletico Madrid. After hanging up his boots, the 49-year-old from Montevideo ventured into coaching, leading clubs such as Bella Vista, Guarani, Penarol, Olimpia, Pachuca, Monterrey, Inter Miami, and Sevilla before arriving in Greece. Additionally, he served as the head coach of the Uruguay national team for two years.
Diego Alonso has signed a two-year contract with Panathinaikos, which, in its quest for a new coach, even considered Maurizio Sarri from Italy. He replaces Turkish legend Fatih Terim on the hot seat of the club, which last won the Greek championship in 2010.
