Panathinaikos transfer of Kostas Sloukas confused Greece: Ergin Ataman’s new star
Kostas Sloukas, who left Olympiakos for Panathinaikos, which will be managed by Ergin Ataman, faced the two Greek clubs again, each game ending in rocky situations and their rivalries turning into feuds.
Giorgos Aggelopoulos, one of the owners of Olympiakos, said: “You are a liar and a traitor. “When we said we didn’t want you to join Panathinaikos, you jumped out of your chair and said you wouldn’t go for €10m.”
Panathinaikos President and Sloukas sign contract.
Greek media reported that Sloukas, who reached an agreement with Fenerbahçe, changed his mind at the last moment and decided on Panathinaikos with an annual salary of more than 3 million euros.
Some of Oly’s fans, who inundated Sloukas with abusive messages after the autograph photos, threatened to kill him.
A LITTLE IMAGINE
Ergin Ataman, the new coach of Panathinaikos, who signed the transfer of the year in European basketball, told the Greek media: “We transferred the best playmaker in Europe. Our goals are huge. “Some people dream, others make it happen,” he said.
Ergin Ataman will be the head coach of Panathinaikos in the new season.
