Panaitolikos Coach Anastasiou Hints at Predecessor's Failings After Defeat

Giannis Anastasiou, coach of Panaitolikos, appears to be on his way out following the team's 1-0 defeat to OFI. Club officials are considering his replacement, with Leonidas Vokolos emerging as the frontrunner for the position. Anastasiou, in his post-match statements, indirectly criticized his predecessor, Giannis Petrakis, implying that he inherited a team in a much worse state than it should have been, and emphasized the need for immediate squad reinforcements.
