Olympiacos coach Alguacil focuses on tactical adjustments during international break

During the September 2026 international break, Olympiacos head coach Imanol Alguacil is utilizing the time at the Rentis training center to refine the team's tactical identity. With 15 players available due to international call-ups, the Basque manager is prioritizing individual development and team cohesion. A key focus is placed on enhancing the contribution of midfielders in the final third, specifically tasking players like Remo Freuler and Gustavo Puerta with advancing into the opposition penalty area to increase scoring options beyond the primary forwards and wingers.

Regarding player fitness, Leon Bailey is undergoing a personalized training regimen to overcome fatigue and is expected to increase his intensity next week without unnecessary risks. Additionally, Gustavo Sa is recovering from a previous injury, and Marius Mouandilmadji is also working toward full fitness. Alguacil is considering organizing a practice match to simulate official competition conditions before the squad returns to standard duties, following a weekend break for the players.
