APOEL restructuring under Zisis Vryzas begins
APOEL has officially appointed Zisis Vryzas as the new sports director, with the official announcement arriving on June 8 and Vryzas expected in Cyprus next week to finalize his tenure. His primary mandate involves evaluating the current roster and overseeing the recruitment of a new technical director and two scouts. Simultaneously, the club is searching for a new head coach, with Nikos Papadopoulos and Ruben Selles currently serving as the leading candidates after visiting the training facilities. The club faces significant financial pressure and must decide the future of player Daniel Mancini by June 15, a task now facilitated by Vryzas's professional connection to the player's agent. Management is operating without the financial influx of an expected investor, Savvas Liasis, while navigating a summer of budget-conscious restructuring. The club intends to move forward without relying on European qualification funds.
