The Romanian coach and his staff returned to Nea Mesimvria, immediately starting work on a program with the ball. The first training session was more of an adaptation with some passing, possession, and special purpose games.

The returning players included Anderson Esiti, while another new face – apart from Lucas Taylor – was Vassilis Gorteziani, one of the recently-crowned Super League champions from the Under-19s.

In the list of justified absentees are Paschalakis and Swiderski0, who had international obligations over the summer, Diego Biseswar, who part of the Surinam national team, and the injured Ingi Ingason.

On Wednesday (30.06) there will be a double training scheduled at 09:00 and 19:00 respectively.
