APOEL president praises Zisis Vryzas for squad building efforts

On August 24, 2026, APOEL company president Charis Fotiou publicly commended Zisis Vryzas for his challenging work in building the current season's football roster. Speaking with a humorous tone, Fotiou noted the immense obstacles faced, jokingly comparing Vryzas's abilities to those of a magician.

Fotiou highlighted the operational difficulty of the task, stating that the process required intense effort, which he quantified metaphorically as 100 'front' moves, 300 'back' moves, and 200 'three-point' maneuvers. The president’s statement serves as a clear indicator of the club's ongoing confidence in Vryzas’s management despite the logistical hurdles. Furthermore, Fotiou hinted at future developments, expressing optimism regarding further team updates involving Liasis scheduled for mid-September.

This public endorsement highlights the solidarity within the APOEL administration as they move forward with their planning, which Fotiou claimed might have been executed even better than originally announced.
