Olympiacos<\/b> will be coached by Giorgos Bartzokas<\/b> will remain on the bench of Olympiacos<\/b> until 2029, as announced<\/b> by Olympiacos BC<\/b> on Thursday afternoon (June 25). <\/p>\n
The extension of the partnership<\/b> between the two sides was a foregone conclusion, especially after winning the EuroLeague <\/b>trophy at the Telekom Center Athens, with the duration and some other details to be discussed after the end of the season. <\/p>\n
The full announcement<\/strong>: <\/p>\n \u201cOlympiacos BC announces the renewal of its partnership with head coach Giorgos Bartzokas for the next three years. <\/p>\n At a time when consistency and faith in our vision are of inestimable value, we continue together on a path filled with passion, hard work, and high expectations. <\/p>\n Coach Bartzokas is not merely our team\u2019s coach. He is the heart and soul of a philosophy built day by day with dedication, hard work, and a belief in victory. His presence on the bench is a guarantee of stability and inspiration. <\/p>\n TOGETHER we have experienced historic moments and great successes, winning: TOGETHER, we look ahead with the goal of even greater achievements. <\/p>\n For the next three years, we\u2019ll continue united and stronger than ever, aiming to raise the bar even higher.\u201d<\/p>\n The presidents of Olympiacos, Messrs. Panagiotis and Giorgos Angelopoulos shook hands with the most successful coach in the team\u2019s history within a few minutes and subsequently issued the following statement to www.olympiacosbc.gr:<\/p>\n The renewal of our partnership with Giorgos Bartzokas for another three years is not a mere formality. It is the continuation of a shared journey that has long since ceased to be measured in dates and contracts and has already been indelibly and gloriously etched into the club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n Our trust in him is unquestionable, strong, and has been earned through hard work, resilience, consistency, and results that speak for themselves. Over the years, Giorgos Bartzokas has proven that he possesses the personality, knowledge, and dedication required to lead Olympiacos at the highest level. He shapes the team\u2019s mindset and builds its identity and character on the court with the conviction of a man who never compromises on his vision.<\/p>\n Together, we\u2019ve experienced moments that defy simple description. Triumphs that have become part of our collective memory, culminating in this year\u2019s EuroLeague and Greek League titles. Moments that were not the result of luck or circumstance, but the natural outcome of unwavering dedication to a shared goal.<\/p>\n We are in one of the brightest chapters in Olympiacos\u2019 history, not to admire it from afar, but to continue writing the next ones. What has already been achieved is not enough for us. We respect it, we honor it, but we turn it into a foundation for what is to come.<\/p>\n Because Olympiacos was not born to follow and imitate. It was born to blaze its own trail to the top. And with Giorgos Bartzokas on the bench, it will continue to do so UNTIL THE VERY END, in a manner befitting its history, values, and heritage.<\/p>\n Together, we all take our places in the stands, alongside the ordinary fans of the Legend, and we unite as one to protect the greatness of the Club.\u201d<\/p>\n Giorgos Bartzokas also spoke on Olympiacos\u2019 official website shortly after renewing his contract with the team. The three-time European Coach of the Year shared his own message about the future:<\/p>\n \u201cRenewing our partnership for the next three years fills me with joy and emotion. For me, Olympiacos is much more than just a professional home. It is my team, my home, and the longest journey of my career in this field. Together with the club, I\u2019ve been privileged to experience unforgettable moments, and it is our collective duty to fight for even more.<\/p>\n Above all, I would like to thank our team\u2019s presidents, Giorgos and Panagiotis Angelopoulos, for the steadfast relationship of trust we have built over all these years. A relationship forged through mutual respect, honesty, and a shared vision for the progress of Olympiacos.<\/p>\n The two-way connection with our fans is, for me, an inexhaustible source of strength. It is the fuel that drives me to continue with the same passion and the same sense of responsibility toward the team.<\/p>\n The emotions that Olympiacos gives us cannot be repaid. The only way to repay them is through our relentless effort to make the club bigger, stronger, and as worthy of its history as possible.<\/p>\n We continue with humility and hunger.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \n Giorgos Bartzokas will remain on the Olympiacos bench through 2029, as announced by Olympiacos BC on Thursday afternoon …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12873,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-greece"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
