Giannis Sfairopoulos and Maccabi Tel Aviv parted ways after almost four years of cooperation. The coach is moving on but before that, he decided to bid farewell to the team, the organization and its fans.
Sfairopoulos bid farewell with the following letter:
“Once a Maccabist, always a Maccabist!
I want to especially thank the owners of Maccabi Tel Aviv for giving me the opportunity to coach this legendary club. I want to thank all the players that I coached over the past four seasons for their cooperation. I would also like to thank the management, the coaches, the members of the staff, and the people in the offices of Maccabi for the great working relationship we had. I only made friends in Maccabi.
Last, but not least, I want to thank each and every one of the fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv for all the love that they showed me. These moments of love will always live in a very special place in my heart.
Unfortunately, we did not perform well as of late, even though we tried to lift our team off a difficult situation. I am leaving the club that I love, knowing that I worked these past four seasons having embraced and showcased the “Maccabist Mentality” and the fighting spirit that characterizes this club. Working with a lot of respect, pride, dignity, and great professionalism.
Good luck to everybody in the club of Maccabi for the road ahead.
Yalla Maccabi!
Giannis”
