All of APOEL on the Line

There is turmoil at APOEL, with a critical meeting taking place today to determine the course of the football company. The departure of President Prodromos Petrides is expected, with Charis Fotiou being the frontrunner to succeed him. The team's situation is critical, both administratively and competitively, with the team losing ground in the championship and finding itself in a deadlock. An extraordinary general assembly of the association has been scheduled for March 4, with the agenda including updates on developments, presentation of a plan, and open discussion. A change of leadership is considered necessary to give the team a new impetus and address the accumulated problems. At the same time, the team's competitive image is disappointing, with the defeat against Ethnikos being the third consecutive one. The team risks losing the opportunity to secure a place in Europe through the championship. Coach Pablo Garcia is also under pressure, as the team is not showing improvement in its performance. The derby against Omonia on Sunday is particularly important, both for ranking reasons and for prestige. A victory could give the team the necessary impetus to recover and improve its performance.
