Olympiacos’ plans for the new season are at a critical juncture, with the issue of José Luis Mendilibar taking center stage and developments expected imminently following a high-level meeting with Vangelis Marinakis.

During the season ticket presentation, Kostas Karapapas made sure to send a clear message of support to coach Vasko, emphasizing that everyone at the club must show respect for his work.

At the same time, he emphasized that Medilibar is already part of the team’s modern history, with his contribution recognized within the club.

At the same time, a decisive meeting with the club’s powerful figurehead is pending. Vangelis Marinakis, who has been abroad, is expected to return to Greece immediately, with reports suggesting he plans to attend the Euroleague Final Four at the OAKA before proceeding with these critical discussions.

The meeting with Medilibar is considered a matter of time and is expected to fully clarify the situation, both regarding his future with the team and the overall planning for the upcoming season.

The Basque coach, however, is continuing his work as usual, already making plans for the new season, which also demonstrates his willingness to move forward with the project in Piraeus. His contract runs through 2027, a fact that provides an additional layer of stability, although everything will be decided at the negotiating table.
