Thanasis Harzopoulos gave a press conference regarding the new season in the basketball department of PAOKwith himself saying that the CAE has requested the support of the club’s football team owner Ivan Savvides.
As Thanassis Hatzopoulos revealed, the budget for the new year in PAOK will increase by 100,000 euros if there is a response to the sale of the duration, while at the same time some improvement projects will be done at the historic headquarters of the “Palataki” team. Indeed, his statements stood out his reference to Ivan Savvides.
“We have also asked for the help of Ivan Savvides in the budget. He had promised a bonus for the European, “said the powerful PAOK basketball man, who also talked about Kanchelieri’s successor on the” black and white “bench, as well as the debts the club has.
His statements
“This year we had a budget close to 600,000. This year we will start at 700,000 and see with the lasting and final number if this may change. Once we see the final number of duration that I hope will overcome any previous one.
We have also asked for the help of Ivan Savvides in the budget. We asked for a financial help. He had promised a bonus for the European. We want to put this money into the team and create a stronger set. In 2026 we will celebrate the birthday and we want to celebrate with a very competitive ensemble.
I wish other PAOKcides would be found to help. It will be bigger this year that will go to the coach compared to previous years, and that will depend day by day with tickets. We want to improve the image of the court in the new year. The stadium boards will change to get a set that may not exist in Greece.
It is a precise investment and we want the palace to have the image of a palace. Also to put a cube of ours that will be here permanently. Some changes, dry the boxes with 71 seats on the pitch and will be 180 seats.
There will also be changes to the stands and we will see if we can paint the roof. And the lighting will change, they will be led. We want a different atmosphere, to illuminate the stadium and not the stands so much. It will become a very strong seat. We are trying to change the changing rooms to make the lives of physiotherapists and players easier. “
Regarding his successor Massimo Kanchelieri, Hatzopoulos said:
“Everyone is coming, our rationale is to go back to a foreign coach, first. It may also be found that I may think it is worth taking the risk. I’ll see it at that time. Everyone writes, he says … if I don’t have data in front of me, to try with a clear mind, to see the pros and cons of everyone. You do not choose from the resumes alone, there is a research from behind. What basketball is playing, what we dream of, how we want to see PAOK. We want a PAOK fighter, as we were this year. You can see a resume and get excited, but basketball make the stadium sleep. The point is to find what we want and that, it wants a study. We are not in the final discussions now. “
For the debts of the OEM he said:
“It’s everything paid, the only ones who have received are the Greek players for the month of June. In the public we are completely neat. In the public at this time, the amount is below 389,000 in the tax office and 107,000 in IKA. Things slowly with debt are evolving to a very good extent. We are not over, the debts are not over 2025. A setup is over, which “sucks” us a very good player. We continue the way we work to this day. The goal is one day to say that we have been forgotten. Group and long marches depend on revenue, sponsorships, ticket revenue. These are the basic revenue, unless he has a tyrant owner. I have no such opportunity, if I had it I would do it with my soul. “
