Panathinaikos AKTOR<\/strong> have taken divorce scenarios off the table regarding Ergin Ataman<\/strong>, reaffirming unlimited support from owner Dimitris Giannakopoulos<\/strong> and issuing a clear message: close ranks<\/strong> and stop the noise after the unexpected Kolossos result.<\/p>\n

As reported, Ataman\u2019s job security is not tied to the Cup outcome, with the season\u2019s main target set firmly on winning the EuroLeague<\/strong>. That competition is where decisions and performance will ultimately be judged, while the ownership wants an immediate lift in cohesion, attitude and collective spirit.<\/p>\n

The addition of Hayes-Davis<\/strong>, paired with the likely return of Mathias Lessort<\/strong>, is framed as adding two major weapons, potentially allowing Ataman to work with a full roster again after a long stretch. No \u201cshock changes\u201d are planned; instead, a structured push for unity has begun, including supportive messaging around the team.<\/p>\n
