Antonio Cordon to take over as technical director of Olympiakos Piraeus

Thanks to the personal actions of the president of Olympiakos Piraeus, Vangelis Marinakis, the Greek team agreed and takes the excellent Spaniard, Antonio Cordon, as their technical director. For days now, Mr. Marinakis has been in constant contact with Cordon, whom he had brought and they also discussed in Athens about his big plan, which of course is nothing more than the creation of a new powerful group, which will take the championship in Greece and will try for the best in Europe.


The 60-year-old Antonio Cordon (born on 19/12/1963) takes over from Monday (22/05) the position of technical director and immediately gets to work, with his primary concern to close the new coach of the team.


With the hiring of Cordon, Olympiacos puts in its football department an experienced player, with a 24-year tenure at a high level, and while he was "besieged" by several European teams, he chose to say "yes" to the "project" presented to him by " red and white".


In the organizational chart of Olympiakos, a big name entered, a man with 24 years of experience at the highest level, through whose hands great footballers have passed, such as Godin, Fabinho, Bernardo Silva, Cáceres, Baiyi, while he also contributed to the development of Mbappe.


At Villarreal


In his rich resume, his work at Villarreal stands out, with which he worked for 17 years (from 1999 to 2016), while for 2.5 seasons he was also with Betis.


During his tenure at the Andalusians, Betis won the Spanish Cup (2021/2022), while reaching the round of 16 of the Europa League. At Villarreal, he helped them win the Intertoto Cup in 2003 (against Dutch side Heerenveen) and 2004 (against Atletico Madrid on penalties).


In addition, he has worked in Monaco (2016/2017) and Ecuador (for five months in 2020), while also passing through Italy (Parma) and China (Lifan).


Now Antonio Cordon, who will officially assume the position of technical director, is expected to ... run the entire project and move quickly to find a coach. Besides, he has already given a list of coaches to the Olympiakos administration.


This is how the next day of Olympiakos starts with Cordon with really high expectations. After all, this is an important person in international football, who has contributed to the creation of teams of the highest level and who these days had contacts with them such as Barcelona and Aston Villa in order to take over their management. But he, after the personal discussions he had with Mr. Marinakis, preferred Olympiakos...
