AEL Limassol starts the new season under coach Hugo Martins

As of August 17, 2026, AEL Limassol has entered the new football season with renewed objectives, primary among them being a return to the league's top six. Following a series of summer roster adjustments, head coach Hugo Martins has finalized the team composition to align with these strategic goals.

Hugo Martins, who has previously demonstrated his capabilities in Cyprus with Omonia Aradippou and Ethnikos Achnas, was selected by the AEL management team despite a challenging conclusion to his tenure at his previous club last season. The leadership expressed confidence in his ability to reconstruct teams from the ground up, entrusting him with the task of establishing a competitive foundation for the current year.

Currently, the team is focused on developing chemistry among the players. While specific match results remain upcoming, the club's management emphasizes that the summer preparation period was vital for securing the necessary depth to compete at the desired level throughout the campaign.
