ALPHANEWSLIVE


Fifteen years without “The Teacher”!

Omonia honored the memory of Iotso Arsov, who passed away on this day, November 9, 2011, at the age of 82.

The Bulgarian coach holds a prominent place in the club’s history, having won 11 titles during eight separate stints with the “Greens”: three league titles (1987, 1989, 1993), four cups (1980, 1988, 1994, 2000), and an equal number of Super Cups (1979, 1987, 1988, 1991).

Beyond the titles, Arsov also made history in Europe. He was on the bench during the qualifying rounds against Red Boys and Shamrock Rovers, as well as during the iconic 4-0 victory over Ajax.

The announcement:

“Today marks 15 years since the day Iontso Arsov passed away. A man who holds a prominent place in the Club’s history, as he was one of the most successful coaches in Omonia’s history.

“The Teacher,” as he was aptly nicknamed, worked for a total of eight seasons with the “Greens” and won eleven titles, including three league championships (1987, 1989, 1993), four cups (1980, 1988, 1994, 2000), and four Super Cups (1979, 1987, 1988, 1991).

Beyond the trophies, he led the team to European victories over Red Boys and Shamrock Rovers, and delivered one of the greatest moments in Omonia’s history: the 4-0 victory over Ajax at Makario Stadium in 1979. He passed away on November 9, 2011, at the age of 82, but he lives on forever in our hearts.”
