Anorthosis parts ways with coach Nestor El Maestro after dismal start

Anorthosis Famagusta suffered their fifth defeat in six matches after a 0-1 loss to Omonia 29M in Peristerona on October 18, 2026. This performance leaves the team in the penultimate position of the league table with only three points, having scored four goals and conceded 13. Following the match, fans booed the players, and manager Nestor El Maestro acknowledged that the results and the team's standing are unacceptable.

Reports indicate that the club's administration, led by Christos Maragos, has decided to terminate the contract of the Serbian coach. While the split is not yet official, El Maestro has already bid farewell to the players and staff. The management is currently finalizing the selection of a successor to address the team's poor form, with several candidates under consideration, although media reports differ on whether Traianos Dellas is a candidate or has been ruled out.
