Tiknizian lands Monday morning
Nair Tiknizian is on his way to Athens. The Armenian full-back flies in Monday morning to complete his move from Red Star Belgrade (1). The transfer is finished, all that remains is the welcome.
It is a welcome lift after a rough week. Olympiacos went out of the Champions League qualifiers to NEC Nijmegen, losing the return leg 2–1 after extra time. The European ambition now shifts to the Europa League, but the squad needs fresh legs, and Tiknizian is exactly that.
What's next
Olympiacos open their Super League season on Saturday against Atromitos, kickoff 21:00 CEST. That is the next chance to reset after the Nijmegen disappointment. Every point matters now, and the position is 10th before a ball has been kicked in the league.
