Peter Papoythis will be the assistant coach of the team, Jorge Abrantes will be the team manager, Kosta Apokis will be the gear steward and Efrem Bunguric the conditioner and physio for 2011.
The President of Club Mr George Giannaros took the floor first and welcomed the players on behalf of the Board of the Club and wished them all a good season. He stressed the importance of the players realizing their position as players of our historic Club, not only on the ground but also during their everyday life.
The coach Mr Peter Tsekenis thanked the President for his welcoming message and explained to the players of the Club his role with the team. He clarified to the players that he took on this role to meet the high expectation of the Olympic supporters and he wants to win and succeed and nothing less. As he stated, his choice of players was made not only on the quality of their skills but also based on their hard working and ambitious attitude. He clarified that all players will have the opportunity to play and his squad every week will be based on the effort each players puts into training during the week.
Mr Peter Papoythis the assistant coach of the team took the floor and opened up with the players and told them the emotional relationship he has with our historic Club. He stated: “I am here because I love this Club and I will do my best for Sydney Olympic. I don’t want to lose not one point in Belmore, this will be our castle and all teams that come here, should know that they will be leaving Belmore Sports Ground with not one point! At the end of every game, I want everyone hearing us singing for Olympic, at the end of every game we will be the winners. I heard an interview that Ryan Giggs gave a little while ago and he said that he was scared to lose, I want all Olympic players to feel the same.”
Following Mr Efrem Bunguric the team conditioner and physio took the floor and went through his previous experience with Sydney Olympic back in 1999-2000 but also his experience with all other Premier League and A League he has worked with. He stated: “I am not afraid to say to everyone that Sydney Olympic was the Manchester United of Australia, I was there and lived it and Sydney Olympic was the best team in Australia that was supported by the most people.” Efrem briefly gave the players an overview of the pre-season program that will be followed and handed out printed material and asked the players to be dedicated and they will all see the results when the season commences on the 26-27 of March 2011.
All players of the team passed the necessary medical examinations and had their first training session yesterday evening. The coaching staff were extremely happy to see how eager the players were and are looking forward for a great season. Training will continue throughout the pre season period and trial games will commence in February and will be announced on our website.
