The club is better known now as simply Volos FC and it is participating in the <strong>Super League<\/strong> for the first time in its short, three-year history.<\/p>\n<p>Volos managed to celebrate two promotions from the <strong>third division<\/strong> and the <strong>Football League<\/strong> in two successive seasons, and this season is making its debut with the big boys. It&#8217;s a journey that everyone at the club hopes will last for many years.<\/p>\n<p>Over the summer there was an extreme makeover in terms of the playing staff. In essence, the team that enjoyed two promotions in as many seasons was disbanded and a brand new squad of young and talented players brought in. There were 23 transfers to be precise.<\/p>\n<p>The squad was then given a new coach in <strong>Juan Ferrando<\/strong>. The 36-year-old Spanish coach has a wealth of experience despite his relatively young age for a coach, having worked Spain&#8217;s lower leagues, as well as <strong>Malaga B<\/strong>, <strong>Sheriff Tiraspol<\/strong>, and <strong>La Masia. <\/strong>He also had stints in the coaching setups at <strong>Arsenal, Brighton<\/strong> and <strong>Ergotelis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The first fruits of the club&#8217;s labor have been extremely encouraging. <strong>Volos<\/strong> play attractive and attacking football against every opponent they come up against, without fear. In its first seven games of the season, <strong>Volos have <\/strong>won three and lost four, beating <strong>Panionios<\/strong> (2-1), <strong>Aris<\/strong> (1-0) and <strong>OFI<\/strong> (1-0), while losing to <strong>Olympiacos<\/strong> (5-0), <strong>Atromitos<\/strong> (2-3), <strong>AEK<\/strong> (3-2) and <strong>Xanthi<\/strong> (3-1).<\/p>\n<p>Argentine forward <strong>Joaquin Torres<\/strong> is a player who is proving a revelation for the Magnesia team. He already has four goals in four matches, and the likes of <strong>Ferrari<\/strong>, <strong>Muniz, <\/strong>and <strong>Jendrisek<\/strong>, are all making an impact, along with <strong>Diamantis, Lyratzis<\/strong> and <strong>Balogiannis <\/strong>&#8211; three players who are on loan from <strong>PAOK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paokfc.gr\u2019s Rival Analysis column hones in on this weekend\u2019s opponents Volos, giving you the lowdown on everything you need to know about the Magnesia club before our Super League Matchday 8 contest at the Panthessaliko stadium.","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":546338,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1520,5],"tags":[1519,5815,7130,13020],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.5.1 -
