Anorthosis facing critical challenges in management and coach selection
Anorthosis is navigating a critical period under new management, dealing with a significant financial recovery plan and a transfer ban that prevents new signings for two periods, ending in January 2027. A top priority is appointing a new head coach, following a failed attempt to hire Jose Luis Oltra, who declined the offer. The club is currently screening other candidates, aiming to finalize the position within the week. Pre-season preparations are set to begin on July 13, with a training camp in Poland scheduled from July 24 to August 3, featuring friendlies against Atromitos and Korona Kielce, followed by further matches in Cyprus. Contract renewals for players including Kallstrom, Dion, Bengstrom, Satin, and Kiko have been secured, while the club is finalizing the transfer of Sergiou from Nea Salamina and negotiating for Karamanolis. Additionally, the future of Stefano Sensi remains uncertain, with reports suggesting interest from clubs in Bulgaria and the UAE. The new administration is also focused on restructuring the club's leadership and enhancing operational efficiency.
