AEK Larnaca reorganizes roster while searching for a new head coach

AEK Larnaca is currently undergoing significant roster adjustments less than two weeks before the start of the championship. Following the departure of Mauro Camoranesi, the club’s technical director, Xavi Roca, is urgently seeking a new head coach to lead the team ahead of their difficult season opener against APOEL.

While the search for a coach continues, the club has been active in the transfer market, securing new players including Sven Kohler, Brian Olivan, Atanas Trica, and Brambty. To accommodate these additions, players like Dani Enrique and Jairo Izquierdo have been transferred to Omonia Aradippou, with further exits anticipated to manage the A-list roster of 19 players. Speculation regarding a move for Aleksey Shpilevsky has been officially denied by the club.

The team faces immense pressure to finalize its leadership structure by the end of this week. Xavi Roca is focused on selecting a candidate capable of optimizing the current squad, as the board views a second failed managerial appointment as a critical risk that the club cannot afford before the league begins.
