AEK Larnaca prepares for league hiatus under coach Ruben Selles
AEK Larnaca is entering a 24-day break in the league schedule following a hard-fought victory against Omonia 29is Maiou. Team spokesperson Kyriakos Dimitriou noted that the win was critical for morale, despite the team missing several chances before Bajic scored the decisive goal late in the match. This marks the club's second consecutive away victory this season.
For head coach Ruben Selles, this hiatus serves as a crucial opportunity to implement his tactical philosophy. Selles was appointed just two days before the season opener against APOEL, inheriting a squad primarily constructed by Mauro Camoranesi and assistant Iñaki Aizpuru. With the team currently holding nine points, the management believes the current roster is the most talented in the club's history and has significant potential for improvement.
During the three-week break, the players will undergo a period of rest before returning to intensive training. The club has scheduled two friendly matches against Nea Salamina and Apollon to maintain match fitness. The primary objective is to have the entire squad available and fully integrated into Selles' system by the time the league resumes to compete for domestic titles.
