THE Marinos Ouzounidis “pressed” Thessaloniki on his behalf Marswith the experienced coach sharing his first thoughts.
From Athens to Thessaloniki, Marinos Ouzounidis! The experienced technician who will succeed Akis Manzios on the bench of Aris, after a meeting he had with the strong man of the club Theodoros Karypides, traveled to Thessaloniki, in order to immediately get a job with the “yellows”.
Ouzounidis is expected to be announced on Thursday (12/12/24) by Aris, with him making his first statements before he has time to do his first training session with the club stating:
“It was not in my mind to return to Greece and everything happened so suddenly. The meeting I had with Mr. Karipides made me change my mind. I saw that things are different. I could already see that Mars has changed level. So, the best opportunity for me to return to Greece was to accept this offer.
Ares is a very large union. They are already a very good team. A team that has goals. So, what I have to do is to try, together with my players, to maintain and try to improve some things that we want, so that we can go even higher” said the 56-year-old initially to add:
“You don’t have time for football. I can’t ask for time. I have a picture. The truth is that in previous years I didn’t watch so much Greek football, but during this time, because it was my choice not to work in the summer because I was away for several years and I would like to spend time with my family, I watched several games of Aris as well .
