Neestrup deal to be sealed Tuesday
Jakob Neestrup is set to sign his contract as Panathinaikos boss on Tuesday. The Dane has agreed a two-year deal to succeed Rafa Benítez, who lasted just seven months in the job. (2)
Transfer talks are already underway with Neestrup involved, so expect movement on the squad soon. This is your next manager, and he is already working.
Where it ended under Benítez
Panathinaikos finished the season 4th in the league with 52 points from 32 matches and a +14 goal difference. Not what you expected from the most expensive roster in the division. The Neestrup appointment resets everything. Now the squad has to match the ambition.

Fans are restless. The mood on Reddit is frustration: the most expensive roster in the league finishing 7th in Europe and scraping 4th domestically is not landing well. There is also confusion about whether the club will schedule a farewell match at Leoforos, with some supporters sarcastically asking if they should just expect an away day at Kifisia instead.
