Panathinaikos’ harsh statement obviously bears the signature of Dimitris Giannakopoulos
Panathinaikos’ harsh statement obviously bears the signature of Dimitris Giannakopoulos, the club’s controversial owner who has often attacked Jordi Bertomeu’s management in the EuroLeague in recent years, threatening retirement.
The theme of his ‘story’ on Instagram is clear and relevant to the official statement later published: ‘Do politics belong in professional sport?’
Then also a photo of Ergin Ataman, as a sign of closeness to the Turkish coach who has promised to resign in the event of failure to reach the Final Four.
