Olympiacos technical director hiring

Entities: Olympiacos FC · Akram Bouras · Olympiacos · Vangelis Marinakēs · Rio Ave

Overview

In early August 2026, Olympiacos president Evangelos Marinakis entered direct talks with French football executive Zoffre Moncanda about bringing him on as a technical director, while also evaluating several player signings, including Spanish forward Blesa and Algerian striker Akram Bouras.

Later the same day, the club confirmed the appointment, naming 40‑year‑old Zéphyr Moncanta as technical director for Marinakēs' multi‑club group. Moncanta will oversee scouting and transfer strategy for Olympiacos, Nottingham Forest and Rio Ave, complementing recent hires such as Miguel Cardoso as general director of football at Olympiacos.

The sequence shows a rapid transition from negotiation to formal appointment, expanding Moncanta’s role beyond a single club to a broader group‑wide technical leadership position.
