APOEL undergoes major squad restructuring under Zisis Vryzas
APOEL Nicosia is currently undergoing a significant roster overhaul as part of a new strategic plan led by newly appointed sporting director Zisis Vryzas and coach Nikos Papadopoulos. The club aims to build a team with a distinct competitive identity by prioritizing quality and experience. Recently, the team acquired Filip Djuricic as a key midfield playmaker, who becomes the 15th foreign player on the A-list. This transition has been marked by several departures and changes, including the exit of defender Franz Brorsson, who is heading to Tripoli, and the loan of Pereira to Omonia Aradippou.
The transfer activity remains active as the club prepares for the upcoming season, with officials actively searching for a center-forward, a central defender, and potentially a goalkeeper and a winger to fill remaining spots. The squad's composition is being adjusted following a serious injury to Mancini and the conclusion of other transfer targets, such as the deal involving Siopis. Management remains open to further departures to free up roster spots, with the ultimate goal of finalizing the team structure approximately one month before the league kickoff.
