Update on Cypriot football club transfers and management changes
AEL Limassol is currently rebuilding its roster, having already signed Stefanos Kapino, Jair Tavares, and Giorgos Papageorgiou, with plans to add over ten new players before the season starts. Coach Hugo Martins is restructuring the squad, focusing on experienced players familiar with the Cypriot league. Meanwhile, APOEL has appointed Nikos Papadopoulos as head coach on a two-year contract starting July 1, with Zisis Vryzas serving as sports director. The club aims to sign at least four high-profile players, including two wingers, a forward, and a defensive midfielder, while simultaneously evaluating contract renewals for players like Daniel Mancini and Max Meyer. Additionally, Pafos FC is reportedly interested in acquiring 25-year-old Brazilian winger Gabriel Teixeira Aragao, known as Biel, currently under contract with Sporting CP, possibly via a loan deal. Papadopoulos arrives at APOEL following a successful tenure at Levadiakos, where he achieved the club's highest historical finish of 6th place.
