Reports regarding a potential collaboration between Roman Dubov and PAOK FC

On May 30, 2026, rumors emerged regarding a potential administrative role for Roman Dubov, a key figure at Pafos FC, within the Greek club PAOK. Russian journalist Ivan Karpov suggested that PAOK is evaluating Dubov for the position of general director, potentially involving former Marseille official Koshelev to assist him. These reports highlight Dubov's 20 years of experience and his work with Pafos FC and Portsmouth. Conversely, local sources in Cyprus confirm that while a meeting took place between Dubov and PAOK owner Ivan Savvidis, the discussion did not concern PAOK’s administrative operations or any professional collaboration. Various international reports from Russia and Poland continue to link the 51-year-old executive to the club, citing his desire for new professional challenges. However, the Greek reporting maintains that these rumors are groundless regarding his departure from the Cypriot team. The situation remains a subject of speculation in football media.
