PAOK Thessaloniki has parted ways with its head coach following a string of risky decisions that ultimately led to disappointing results for the club. The decision to dismiss the coach, whose identity has not yet been publicly confirmed, comes after weeks of underperformance on the field and growing frustration from both fans and management.

The coach had taken bold, sometimes controversial decisions, such as experimenting with unconventional formations, making surprise starting XI choices, and making substitutions at critical moments that failed to pay off. These high-risk moves were intended to bring about a tactical overhaul, but unfortunately, they backfired. In a league as competitive as the Greek Super League, where consistency is often key, such risks did not deliver the anticipated rewards.

PAOK had shown signs of promise early in the season, but the lack of cohesion and poor results in crucial matchesu Yh raised alarms. The team’s performance in domestic competitions, including the Super League and the Greekj I Cup, suffered as the coach’s strategies were questioned. Fans, once hopeful of a fresh approach, began voicing their dissatisfaction on social media, demanding accountability from the management.

The final straw came after a string of consecutive losses, including a humiliating defeat in a derby match, which further damaged the club’s morale and standing in the league. The board, after much deliberation, decided that a change was necessary to restore stability and focus to the team.

PAOK will now be looking for a new coach who can bring a more balanced approach to the team and ensure that the club can compete at the highest level. With a talented squad in place, the expectation is that the next manager will be able to harness the players’ potential and guide the team back to its former glory.
