Omonia Aradippou parts ways with manager Giannos Okkas following recent defeat

Omonia Aradippou has officially announced the termination of its cooperation with head coach Giannos Okkas by mutual consent. This decision followed a disappointing 3-2 home defeat against Nea Salamina on November 6, 2026, during the ninth round of the league. Despite leading 2-0 at halftime, the team collapsed in the second half, a performance Okkas attributed to an "unjustified panic" following Nea Salamina's first goal.

The defeat marked the team's fifth consecutive loss, leaving Omonia Aradippou in the relegation zone with only six points from nine matches. The club has not secured a victory since the second round against Krasava ENY. Following the match, the management concluded that a change in leadership was necessary to address the team's poor form and avoid further decline.

Currently, the club management is actively searching for a new head coach to replace Okkas. The ongoing league break is being utilized by the administration to evaluate potential candidates and find a leader capable of reversing the team's fortunes. Discussions regarding potential successors are already underway, with focus directed towards local coaching options.
