Thelades Faces Crucial Period with Paphos

Paphos coach, Christos Thelades, is entering a critical period where he needs to prove his worth and that of his team. Following a successful league debut with a 2-0 victory over Omonia Aradippou, Paphos is in second place and aiming for the top spot. January is expected to be particularly demanding, with important matches such as the one against Olympiacos, as well as European clashes with Chelsea and Slavia Prague, and derbies against AEK and APOEL. This series of games presents an opportunity for Thelades and his players to dispel doubts and demonstrate their capabilities, after a period of Thelades' absence from the sidelines.
