Daniel Pontense arrived on Monday night (01.09.2025) in order to undergo medical examinations and sign his one -year loan to Olympiacos, from Al Sabaab.
Although Daniel Pontense’s initial arrival in Athens was delayed due to unauthorization by Al Sababab, the 29 -year -old finally arrived in our country on Monday night, shortly after 8:30 pm, to complete his big return to Olympiacos!

About 2,000 Olympiacos’ friends were in “El Venizelos” to welcome Pontense. Shortly after 9:40 pm, the Portuguese extremist appeared and the airport was reminiscent of “Karaiskakis” from the tobacco and the slogans that fans lit.

Pontense entered the vehicle he received, to surround him from Olympiacos’ friends and to accept their … love and to hear their slogans once again. The car began to move away slowly, with the crowd to be emptied and emptying the spot. Pontense was then followed by many motorbikes.
Amidst all this red -white “madness”, the “Olympiacos” was not missing!




After his arrival in Athens, the Portuguese midfielder went to the offices of PAE Olympiakos in Alexandra Square, with Kostas Karapapas uploading the photo to social media.
Together with the “red -white” PAE and Daniel Pontense, Piraeus Athletic Director Darko Kovasevic was also athletic director. There, the signatures were also dropped by a player.
Recall that the 29 -year -old midfielder (1.70m), after the historic season with Olympiacos winning the Conference League, was transferred in September 2024, with Al Sabaab paying 5,000,000 euros to Wolves to acquire him.
The Portuguese will be immediately integrated into Jose Luis Mendilibar’s workouts, while Olympiacos’ intention, of course, is to include him in the European Champions League game list.
The Portuguese midfielder will do his third term with the Reds jersey, leaving Al Sababab with whom he played in 21 games, scoring 3 goals and giving 8 assists.
At Olympiacos, Pontense had a total of 115 appearances with 28 goals and 27 assists, contributing to the Europa Conference League by the Piraeus.
