A heroic exit with his head held high instead of being kicked out through the back door he had chosen. Mitchell put a note of his second term on Olympic!
After the 2-2 shock (off 2-0) with Aris, the Spanish coach was again attacked by the team’s organized supporters, who posted on their official website calls for him to return to his homeland, in continuation of the threatening message they sent him after a heavy defeat by AEK with a score of 3:0 in the Cup.
Realizing management was also under a lot of pressure, Mitchell decided to step down and José Añigo, the Reds’ technical director and former coach of Marseille, Panioni and Levadeakis, took his place in tomorrow’s derby against PAOK, with a possible scenario for him to stay. until the end of the season.
The PAE website officially reported on the development of events: “Mr Mitchell informed us of his decision to leave the club immediately. Mr Mitchell came at a difficult time for the club and tried to help. We wish him only success in the future.”
Mitchell said: “I have informed the club’s management of my decision to retire. I think this is the best moment for the team. I thank the whole club for their cooperation, I leave all these tense months as a friend and wish the team to achieve all the goals.”
AEK won the game day by beating Toumba 1-0 and catching PAO at the top.
Panathinaikos experienced a similar shock after the 0-0 draw with Volos, with the difference that Ivan Jovanovic remains adamant in the eyes of management and fans.
The Greens head to Thessaloniki tomorrow to face a psychologically elevated Mars and are determined to keep their tone high on Hungarian referee Tomas Bognar’s determination: “Baltakos and Bennett have done their…magic again! The Hungarian “wizard” is sent to us on Wednesday.
The one who didn’t see the foul by Coulierakis before the goal that cost us defeat at Toumba this year, and who didn’t see Lukas Sasa’s penalty in the 0-0 draw against Panathinaikos and the foul by Manus Garthia before the Olympiakos goal earlier this year. The same Hungarian is again sent to us the day after tomorrow! It can’t be, they’re doing it on purpose… Even the pretense can’t stand Aris anymore… Finally free a corner for us…”.
AEK caught up with Panathinaikos at the top and became a big winner of the 2nd round of the playoffs, but lost to Amrabad and Sidibé for a long time. The Moroccan was out of action for about 20 days with a first-degree bruise to his right quadriceps, while the Frenchman was out for more than a month with a severe contusion in his right calf.
The victory in Toumba curbed the backlash for the unknown reason that (elite category) Kulbakov canceled Amrabat’s goal and created a buzz ahead of tomorrow’s match in Volos with Dimitris Melissanidis also accompanying the team.
