Jimenez Out as Aris Coach!

Manolo Jimenez has been removed from his position as head coach of Aris due to the team's disappointing results, most recently a draw against Kifissia. The announcement was made by Aris PAE, and the search for his replacement has already begun, in consultation with technical director Ruben Reyes. The return of Theodoros Karypidis to Greece is expected to expedite the process. The development was expected, as the team has not won at home for months and is experiencing significant performance issues. The situation had reached a deadlock and a change of coach was considered the only solution to revive the team and improve its course in the championship. Aris is going through a difficult period, with negative records both in terms of standings and performance. Jimenez's dismissal marks the beginning of a new era for the team, with the aim of recovery and achievement of its goals. The management of Aris is expected to move quickly to hire a new coach who can change the team's image and lead it to better days. The selection of the new coach is expected to be based on experience, ability and compatibility with the team's goals.
