“It is a great pleasure and honor to work at Panathinaikos. At the same time, it is a great responsibility and I am fully aware of the requirements and the difficulties. I know it is a special period for the team and there are many things I have to manage. Everything must be done in a collective spirit and in this effort, it is necessary for everyone to contribute. From the people of the team, the administration, the coaches, the staff, the players -of course- but also the people who are an integral part of the club. I thank the administration for its trust”, Priftis said upon the announcement of his deal with the Greens.
