Neestrup brings perfect knockout record to Panathinaikos

Neestrup's Copenhagen record speaks for itself

The man expected to take over at Panathinaikos, Jacob Neestrup, arrives with a perfect knockout record in Europe. Nine qualification ties with Copenhagen, nine times through (2). That's the kind of steel this club has been missing. The two-year deal is reportedly agreed, and transfer talks are already underway with the Dane. After the Rui Vitória experiment fizzled and Benítez came and went, you'd be forgiven for caution, but this feels different. A coach who knows how to win when it matters.

Fan reactions

The mood is restless. One fan on Reddit questioned whether there will even be a farewell match at Leoforos, the sarcasm sharp: "Or should I just wait for us to play away at Kifisia." Another post captured the broader frustration around the club's identity with a blunt title: "They're not even Greek." The uncertainty over the managerial situation is bleeding into everything.
