Vangelis Marinakis sets Europa League title as Olympiacos goal
Olympiacos owner Vangelis Marinakis has set ambitious goals for the club following the UEFA Europa League League Phase draw in Monaco. Marinakis stated that the club’s dream is to win the Europa League and the domestic championship, emphasizing that the team has the necessary experience and coaching under José Luis Mendilibar to succeed.
Regarding the Europa League draw, Olympiacos will face opponents including AC Milan, Marseille, Rennes, Sparta Prague, Gent, Chelsea, Hoffenheim, and Torino. Data projections suggest a 78.3% probability of the team finishing in the top 24 of the league phase.
Marinakis also addressed the challenges of the Greek transfer market, noting that high-quality young players often do not choose Greece as a primary destination. He highlighted the club’s advantage of owning Nottingham Forest as a potential draw for players eyeing the English league. Additionally, he commented on the failed transfer of Gustavo Puerta, noting that despite Olympiacos being willing to pay a 16 million euro release clause, the player preferred a move to Benfica.
