Anorthosis struggles deepen after loss to Omonia 29M

On October 18, 2026, Anorthosis Famagusta suffered another defeat, losing 1-0 to Omonia 29M. This result marks the team's fifth loss in six matches, leaving them at the bottom of the league table with only three points. Following the game, head coach Nestor El Maestro acknowledged that both the result and the team's standing are unacceptable, emphasizing the need for significant improvement.

The current performance of Anorthosis is described as alarming, with the team possessing one of the worst defensive records in the league, having conceded 13 goals, and sharing the record for the worst attack.

While no formal dismissal has been announced, speculation regarding a coaching change is growing. Reports indicate that the management has already begun considering alternatives, with the name of Traianos Dellas being mentioned as a potential candidate should the club decide to part ways with the Serbian coach.
