In a revelation about a difficult period in his life, when he suffered a heart attack during a match against APOEL and was ultimately forced to end his soccer career, OFI’s current coach, Christos Kontis, spoke about it.

Specifically, the Greek veteran player for the “blue-and-yellows” spoke in an interview with Betarades about the moment after the incident, when he was at home watching the Nicosia team’s Champions League match against Zenit.

Before the match began, APOEL fans unfurled a banner bearing Kontis’s number and name, and as he revealed, he was crying at that moment, overcome with emotion.
