Following a series of disappointing results, including a heavy defeat to AEK and Anorthosis's position in the relegation zone, the club's management held a meeting with coach Timour Ketsbaia. Ketsbaia's statement that he was ready to step down if a more capable coach was found had sparked debate about the team's future. During the meeting, the management and the coach exchanged views and concerns regarding the team's situation. The need for unity and cohesion was discussed as crucial for Anorthosis's recovery. As a result of the meeting, the management decided to give Timour Ketsbaia another chance to turn things around. This decision was based on the belief that Ketsbaia is the right person to lead the team to better days, given the need for stability and unity. The next challenge for Anorthosis is the match against Ethnikos on Sunday (11/01, 19:00). The Famagusta team aims to return to winning ways, as they are currently level on points with their opponents. A victory in this match could provide a significant boost to the team's morale and move them away from the relegation zone.
