Nikos Athanasiou will continue to wear the OFI jersey next season, as the Cretans have reached an agreement with Olympiacos to extend his loan.

The 24-year-old left back was one of the team’s key players last season, making a significant contribution to OFI’s campaign and earning the coaching staff’s trust with his performances.

His continued presence is considered crucial to the team’s game plan, as OFI officials wanted to keep on the roster a player who already understands the club’s demands and has proven his value and usefulness.

Last season, Athanasiou made a total of 34 appearances across all competitions, scoring four goals and proving to be one of the most consistent options on the left side of the defense.
