Kosti Out as Olympiacos Coach

Giorgos Kosti has been removed from his position as head coach of Olympiacos following the team's defeat against E.N. Ypsona in the first matchday of the play-outs. The decision was made due to the team's prolonged poor form and the need to secure their place in the league. The Olympiacos administration decided to take immediate action to reverse the situation. Kyriakos Polykarpos has taken over as caretaker coach, assuming responsibility for the team until a new coach is appointed. The administration has not yet announced who will succeed Kosti, but is expected to move quickly to find the right solution. The defeat against E.N. Ypsona was the final straw for Kosti, who had faced strong criticism for the team's performance. The administration appears to have lost confidence in Kosti and decided to proceed with a change of coach. The situation at Olympiacos is critical and the administration wants to give the team a new impetus. The selection of Polykarpos as caretaker coach is a temporary solution, aimed at stabilizing the team and preparing for the next matches.
