Zeliko Obradović’s in-depth interview about his return to Panathinaikos on the official website of the "Greens" naturally included a mention of the Giannakopoulos family.
The late Pavlos, Thanasis, and Kostas were… praised by the Serbian coach for the support they had shown him. “Everyone treated me as if I were part of their family,” Obradović said meaningfully!
In fact, he didn’t forget to make a special mention of the current owner of Panathinaikos AKTOR, Dimitris Giannakopoulos. “He wants to do everything for Panathinaikos,” were “Zoc’s” characteristic words.
“Everyone treated me like family. Mr. Pavlos, Thanasis, Kostas, and Dimitris… He really wants to do everything for Panathinaikos.”
