Babi Kostoula’s letter
“Dear friends of Olympiacos,
I want to write to you with all my heart because this decision was not easy at all. Just a season after my start on the business trip, it’s time to leave the club I loved growing up.
Olympiacos was never just a team for me. It was my childhood dream. From my first steps in football, I wanted to wear this jersey, honor the emblem, make my family proud. And this dream came true.
I had the honor of living moments that I would remember forever. The conquest of the UEFA Youth League, to become the first Greek team to score it, the goals in big derby, the sense of Karaiskakis, the pulse of the world. All this made me a better player but mostly a better person.
I would like to thank President Vangelis Marinakis for his confidence and support, as well as all the coaches and staffs with which I worked with the Academy and the First Team.
I especially thank Coach Mendilibar for the guidance and valuable experiences he offered me at the highest level. I know I’m still at the beginning. I have a lot to learn, a lot to live. But whatever the future holds me, one thing is for sure.
Olympiacos will always have a special place in my heart. I will continue to support you as a loyal supporter of the team, with the same love and pride I felt when I was wearing the jersey.
This is not an antique.
IT’S ONE WE WILL RECEIVE.
With respect and deep appreciation,
C. Kostoulas ”
