On Sunday, June 21, Panathinaikos officially presented their new head coach, Jacob Nistrup, at the team's training center in Koropi. During the event, club owner Giannis Alafouzos and technical director Stefanos Kotsolis praised Nistrup's background and expressed optimism for the upcoming season. Nistrup emphasized his commitment to the club's project and his ambition to achieve high goals. Simultaneously, the club is in advanced negotiations to sign 27-year-old Barcelona goalkeeper Inaki Pena. Sources indicate that Pena is expected in Athens on June 21 to undergo medical examinations and sign a 3+1 year contract, with the deal estimated at approximately 3 million euros.
