Greek champions Olympiakos have fired their Kosovar Albanian
coach Besnik Hasi after just three-and-half months on the job, local media
reported on Monday.
The
Piraeus club has not made an official announcement as yet about Hasi’s
departure, but media reported that he has been informed that he will not lead
the team against Juventus in Wednesday’s Champions League contest in Italy.
Olympiakos
have made one of their poorest starts in the Super League,five points adrift
from leaders AEK Athens after five matches. Sunday saw Olympiakos go down 3-2
to AEK.
Hasi,
45, was under pressure before the derby after a 3-2 home defeat by Sporting
Lisbon in the opening Champions League match as well as two league draws
against Xanthi and Asteras Tripolis.
The
Greek champions have not announced a replacement for the former Albanian
international player, but media reported that former Greek international
goalkeeper Antonis Nikopolidis may lead the team on an interim basis including
the match against Juventus.
