PAOK coach who enjoyed a stellar career at the ranks of Partizan was warmly greeted by his countrymen, as were all members of the “Double-Headed Eagle” delegation. Partizan technical director Ivica Iliev was waiting for them and he then spoke to Ivić and with former teammates Stelios Malezas, Stefanos Athanasiadis. Zvonimir Vukić was also there.

The session focused mainly on ball passing through several drills and finishing practice with Vladan Ivić remembering his playing days and providing the crosses for his teammates.

After the trip and a session held in winter weather, PAOK players went to their hotel for some rest ahead of Saturday’s friendly encounter.
