APOEL management initiates investment deal and conducts coaching interviews
APOEL Nicosia has reached a preliminary agreement with an investment group led by Savvas Liashis, aiming to resolve the club's financial obligations and establish a new corporate structure. Shareholders authorized the Advisory Committee to continue negotiations following a General Assembly where the outline of the 40-year project was presented. The club plans to utilize the existing company to manage legacy debts, similar to a 'bad bank' model, while launching a new entity for future operations. Simultaneously, the club's administration is interviewing candidates for the head coach position. Greek coach Nikos Papadopoulos traveled to Cyprus on June 5, 2026, to discuss a potential collaboration with board member Charis Photiou. Reports from Greece claim Papadopoulos has verbally agreed to renew his contract with Levadiakos, though no official signatures have been confirmed. APOEL remains in contact with other candidates as it seeks to finalize both a head coach and a technical director.
